The marathon event is presented by singer and drag-queen Todrick Hall, made famous by the program “American Idol”. Among the headliners, pop singers Kesha and Ava Max, but also political guests, such as Carlos Alvarado, the president of Costa Rica, a country that has just legalized gay marriage. This forced switch to online festivities represents an opportunity for organizers, who hope to reach a more diverse audience, in dozens of countries where homosexuality remains illegal and punishable by law.
In France, the Paris Pride March has been postponed to November 7, according to Inter-LGBT, which organizes it. But the magazine Stubborn and several associations offer an online alternative on Saturday, called “Proud and Stubborn”, “Equally committed and inclusive”. The event, which is to mix DJs and round tables, will start at 12 noon Paris time.
