Pics & More from Buenos Aires Gay Pride

Here are some pictures of yesterday’s Marcha del Orgullo or Gay Pride March, which began in Plaza de Mayo and ended at Plaza del Congreso. According to an article in Clarin, this was the 17th gay pride march and was attending by approximately 25,000 people.

I attended the march in 1999 and it’s grown a great deal since then, still, 25,000 people for a city of 12 million is an embarrassment. Mexico City and Bogota both have much larger gay pride celebrations, not to mention Sao Paulo which this year attracted over 3 million to their pride march, the world’s largest. How is it that a city 50% larger than Buenos Aires is able to attract over one hundred times as many people to its gay pride celebration? Heck, Fresno, California has a bigger gay pride event than Buenos Aires.
