Whether you’re straight or gay, supporting the cause of LGBT rights is something you should do at least once in your life. Gender equality should no longer be a battle. Yet this is still the case in many countries around the world.
Homosexuals have been demonstrating for over 50 years to obtain common rights in their own and other countries. The raison d’être of a gay pride is still there today to fight homophobia.
