PRIDE Barcelona is an event for everyone, a space where collectively we can can be heard and become visible, a place to celebrate and make a stand. From here we want to send a message to the world:

We have to love ourselves more. We have to love the outsiders, the people around us, those who are different from us and also those who think differently from us. We also have to show more respect for ourselves, it is because love has thousands of shapes and colours. Many times that’s the only thing we need. A little bit of love. A hug. A smile.

Barcelona has always been a city with an open heart and respect for diversity. We cannot forget about this. It’s time to get this feeling back. We want to gout out and scream that there is love for everyone. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, this is for you.

LGBTI Refugees

In more than 80 countries, something so normal here as being LGTBI, falling in love with someone of the same sex, or daring to be yourself is cause for persecution, torture, imprisonment and even assassination attempts. Many people in this situation only have the option to run away and seek asylum in another country in search of a better future. Did you know that some of these victims are refugees in Barcelona? This is the reality and we can not look the other way.

testimonials
"Here I feel that my life is no longer in danger. As a person I have rebuilt myself, now I am more self confident in myself and I have hope. I want to communicate that our life has not been easy, but we are courageous people and we are fighting, we seek to move forward and be treated with respect and equality. That’s why the support of the people here is very important.”

Carolina, LGTBI refugee in Barcelona
