Thousands of people took to the streets of Paris to take part in Paris Pride, defending the rights of LGBTQ+ people against a backdrop of growing popularity of the far right.
As the march set off, Alexandre Schon, co-president of Inter-LGBT, which organises the march, said: “We are just a few months away from the presidential election, so we are calling on LGBT+ people and allies to mobilize for a future based on solidarity.”
