性少数群体傲娇大游行

LGBT pride parades 在世界范围内，LGBT（同性恋、双性恋及变性者 Le*****ian Gay Bisexual Transgender）群体都在欢呼雀跃庆祝社会（对他们的态度）由深深的敌意慢慢转向宽容与接受。在6月28日，也是1969年纽约石墙酒店起义纪念日，被众人认为是同性恋权益运动的开始之日，许多城市都上演了同志骄傲大游行庆典。人们格外享受今年的庆典，因为今年这次集会又多了一个新的庆祝项目：纽约州两天前（6月26日）通过了同性婚姻合法化法案。与此同时，世界上还有一些地区，性少数群体还是受到歧视，在印度，7·2新德里同志骄傲大游行的三天前，印度卫生大臣把同性恋描述成是一种“疾病”。下面展示了一些世界各地同性恋、双性恋、变性人骄傲大游行的照片。
