Thus, thousands of people gather on Avenida de Mayo, with flags, costumes, and buses, to parade through the streets and expose dissidence.
"What should be changed is not the acceptance, it is basic respect, because it is not about accepting us, it is about respecting us and knowing that we exist as people," Lackiie, a trans activist, said.
The Pride March is the most important public act of the LGBTIQ+ community in Argentina. It has been held every first Saturday of November since 1992 to make visible the demands of the group and express pride and freedom for sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression.
This year, the Organizing Commission of the Pride March decided that the slogan be "The debt is with us: Comprehensive Trans Law, Anti-Discrimination Law and Yes to Inclusive Language."
