African Prides
Across the African continent, queer lives exist in every country, but visibility, safety, and rights vary among them. While some African countries host Pride marches, festivals, or community events, many others do not, because laws, social hostility, or security risks make public Pride events almost impossible.
European Prides
The pride season in Europe starts as early as in May and ends in November. The Maspalomas Pride, taking place twice a year, marks the beginning of the season in Mid-May as well as the end of the season in Mid-November. Some of the biggest gay Prides in the world take place in European capitals. Nowadays, even some smaller winter Pride events are on the rise and events are not limited to summer anymore, even this is the best time in Europe to conquer the streets to show the flags.
