Bolivia National Pride March

Nguồn dữ liệu từ Wikipedia, hiển thị bởi DefZone.Net

The National LGBT Pride March of Bolivia (Spanish: Marcha Nacional del Orgullo LGBT de Bolivia) is a demonstration held annually to commemorate International LGBT Pride Day.[1] The event rotates its host city and is celebrated in a different city in Bolivia in each edition, as a way to strengthen the bases of local LGBT organizations.[2] During these marches, people belonging to the LGBT populations walk through the streets of the host city carrying pride flags and colorful costumes.[3]

The National March is organized by the TLGB Bolivia Collective (Colectivo TLGB Bolivia) and its first edition took place in 2013 in the city of Cochabamba.[2] The event is usually held on a day of the week following June 28, the date on which LGBT Pride Day is celebrated.[1] In addition to this demonstration, different pride parades are held annually in each department of Bolivia, although unlike these, the National March receives delegations from the nine departments of the country.[4][5]

History

[edit]

The first National LGBT Pride March of Bolivia took place in Cochabamba in 2013. The following year, the host was the city of Sucre and the event took place on July 5. The route this year began at the Patria Stadium and advanced to the building of the Autonomous Departmental Government of Chuquisaca, in the Plaza 25 de Mayo, where a stage was set up. Among the attendees were representatives of the Ombudsman's Office, the Vice Minister of Decolonization and President of the National Committee against Racism and all forms of discrimination Félix Cárdenas, the former municipal assemblyman of Sucre Ronald Céspedes, and activists Claudette Rojas, David Aruquipa, Alex Bernabé, París Galán and Sasette.[6]

The 2016 edition took place on July 9 in Tarija and had a route that started at Parque Bolívar, then crossed Plaza Luis de Fuentes and ended at Plazuela Sucre. The demonstration was led by the Ombudsman of Bolivia, David Tezanos Pinto, and took place in Tarija as a way of supporting the LGBT activists of the city, who are much less numerous than in other cities.[3] The 2017 march, on the other hand, took place on July 8 in El Alto and started at Plaza del Tinku, went along Satélite Avenue, Cívica Avenue and reached Plaza del Obelisco.[1]

The National March was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was held again in 2022 and was hosted by the city of Oruro. This edition took place on July 9 and had a thousand participants and twenty thousand spectators.[7][8]

The 2023 edition took place on July 22 in El Alto and began its route at the Yellow Line station of Mi Teleférico, then passed through Plaza del Obelisco, crossed Antofagasta Avenue and ended at Plaza Juana Azurduy de Padilla.[9] The following year, the march took place in Cobija. In addition to the local delegations, Cobija's proximity to Brazil allowed the presence of delegations from Brasiléia and Epitaciolândia.[2]
