This year, and for the first time, inter-LGBT have decided to do a 'decarbonated' gaypride. Big Trucks, and Floats were forbidden. In the past, those floats were able to transform a classic protest in a gigantic party. Before, the floats were fun, and it was working well as we were able to gain many rights toward equality. This 'decarbonisation' seems to be some kind of greenwashing, as CO2 emission of 20 floats, divided by the number of participants makes really à very low emission per participant. Anyway, earth is dying, and inter-LGBT probably took this decision in good faith. But we still have so many rights to gain to reach equality. We watch all the parade, and it doesn't seems to me that bad after all. Even if the first part of gaypride was really boring. (Can you imagine, watching hundreds of thousands of people walking in silent or yelling unefficient slogans.) Luckily, the end was more interesting. Some associations were able to replace the big floats by big portable battery speakers on bicycles with trailers, and were able to recreate Floats ambiance. Let's hope the others associations will do the same in the next years if inter-LGBT decides to continue withouts floats. I saw a lot's of bad reviews on twitter. I understand that for those who gave up after 1 or 2 hours of boring stuff, didn't like it at all as the most interesting was at the end. I tried to avoid to film the boring parts. This gaypride was massive, with a lot of people. I would say around 500 000, but it's always hard to guess the right number.
