Torino Pride 2016

Last weekend was the Torino Pride 2016, there was 120 thousand participants according to the news report.



 

The pride parade started at via San Donato and ended in piazza San Carlo where a concert was held for the event.



This is the 10 years anniversary since Torino started it's first Pride, judging from the comments on various photos posted on internet, it seems there is still some distance to go before people can actually accept others for being differet and be really tollerant.







Most common comments are : It is neccessary to manifest in such an exaggerated way....
How am I going to explain to my kids why there are half naked people matching on the street, and why there are men dressed by as women?
These are just some jokers....
and of course these people who posted these comments claimed to have lots of gay friends....







This is alos the first participated by the new mayor and she has selected the ex-chairman of the Arcigay as an assessor....



Overall, it was a nice Pride, full of joys, full of colors and full of Pride, although it was not perfectly organized and executed.
