Yesterday was the 9th annual Rainbow Pride in Bratislava. I originally planned to go Friday and spend the whole weekend but I've got so much going on that I decided to just go for the day.
Last year I helped staff the IBM booth during the parade. There wasn't booth this year so I participated in the parade. In the USA, when you go to the pride parade it's to watch the parade. Here, you are the parade.  |

In protest, there was another march by the Proud of the Family. I hear that only a few hundred people showed up for that.
What was impressive about this year is that many of the foreign embassies came together for a joint statement of support. The following embassies signed:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and the Representation of the European Commission in Slovakia. It was a nice day. Now looking forward to this year's Prague Pride.
