ROMA PRIDE 2024, HONORATO: “THE CITIES WHERE YOU LIVE BETTER ONLY THOSE WHERE RIGHTS ARE GUARANTEED”

Mayor Roberto Gualtieri will be there to parade again this year. “We have always been close to Pride – councilor Lucarelli recalled in this regard – And we won’t miss it this year either. We are working in the Capitol to make the city more and more open: I want to remember the next tender for the opening of two new centers dedicated to anti-violence for LGBT people”. “30 years is an important milestone – added Onorato – three decades during which Rome’s Pride made history also on an international level with an event that had the courage to go against the grain. We, however, have inherited a city that was convoluted on the issue of rights. Instead, the cities where people live best are precisely those where rights are guaranteed”.

“Last year someone thought it best to remove the patronage from Pride. I want to reassure Rocca: this year we didn’t even ask him for patronage.

If you accept us you have to take everything.” Thus Mario Colamarino, spokesperson for Roma Pride, on the occasion of the presentation of Roma Pride 2024. “Rome is instead doing a great job – he added – every year we manage to do something more and I want to underline the great work that Mayor Gualtieri is doing on the transcriptions, for us it is fundamental”.
