“It’s very important to be there with everything that’s going on, all the hate, to show that we support the community [LGBT] and we love them […] It’s great to see how many people there are,” said Sam Trip, 22, in rainbow socks up to her thighs, who came from neighboring New Jersey to watch the parade, along with her colleagues from a large cafe sign.
“With the Trump government in the United States and the rise of all fascistic policies in the world, it is important to fight and to be there,” added Vinicio Albani, a 50-year-old Swiss from Zurich with his companion, referring to several recent attacks on gays in his country.

The police expected 150,000 participants and some three million spectators for this World Pride record, tribute to the 50e anniversary of the Stonewall riots: it was in front of this gay bar in Greenwich Village that, for six days from June 28, 1969, riots opposed police and homosexuals exasperated by the repression of their community.
These events would energize the gay rights movement and give birth in June 1970 to the first New York Pride March, a demonstration that was to spread to cities around the world, even if homosexuality remains illegal in some 70 countries. .

“Stonewall was rioting, and it’s important that the pride march doesn’t get taken over too much by big business,” said Bennett Sherr, 20, a student at Cornell University.
The controversy with the main march nevertheless remained limited: many participants in the protest parade admitted that they would then also attend the World Pride .
This giant parade, the culmination of many events organized since the beginning of June in New York for the anniversary of Stonewall, was to end with a festive evening in Times Square and a concert by Madonna, icon of the gay community.
