The Manila Pride Parade 2024, held on June 22 at QC Memorial Circle, was a vibrant and unforgettable celebration of love, diversity, and unity within the LGBTQIA+ community. Thousands gathered to express their pride and solidarity, adorned in colorful outfits and waving rainbow flags. The event, organized by Pride PH under the theme "Love Laban 2 Everyone Pride Festival," emphasized the importance of inclusivity and the ongoing fight for the SOGIE Equality Bill. Despite the intense heat and congestion, the atmosphere was electric with performances, solidarity messages, and the unwavering spirit of celebration and protest.
However, the joyous occasion was marred by the presence of a few outnumbered homophobic religious members spreading hate. It was surreal to witness their disruptive actions, especially when LGBTQIA+ members respect religious gatherings without interference. Their presence highlighted a stark contrast in attitudes and underscored the resilience and dignity of the LGBTQIA+ community. Despite the negativity, the community's strength shone through, demonstrating that love and acceptance will always prevail over hate. This year's parade was a testament to the ongoing struggle for equality and the unwavering spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community in the face of adversity.
