No Pride March - but rallies instead

This weekend should have been the Pride March in Geneva, but coronavirus restrictions meant it had to be cancelled for another year.

But that didn’t stop a party atmosphere and speeches on the Place des Nations on Saturday.

Several hundred gathered to listen speeches demanding an end of violence, and for equal opportunities. 

The Geneva Green party member of the city council, Alfonso Gomez, says to the crowd it’s important to remain visible and demand progress and fight ahead of the vote later this year on marriage for all. 

It is hoped the march will be able to go ahead in September.
