Warsaw holds Equality Parade for 19th time

Equality Parade started on Saturday afternoon from Świętokrzyska street in Warsaw, already for the 19th time. Tens of thousands of people joined the gay parade. For the first time, however. the event was under the patronage of the mayor.

"Not everyone has to march in an equality parade, but everyone should respect the rights of minority groups,” said the mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski, who joined the parade, and added that this has nothing to do with whether one is leftist, liberal or conservative.
