The March of Pride (Spanish: Marcha del Orgullo) is an annual pride parade in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The march promotes the equality and rights of LGBT people. It takes place in November in memory of the creation of the first Argentine and Latin American LGBT organization, Nuestro Mundo, in November 1967. [1]

The first March of Pride in Buenos Aires was held in 1992. Most subsequent marches have been held annually on the first Saturday of November. [2]

History

In November 1967, Nuestro Mundo was founded, making it the first LGBT organization in Argentina and Latin America. [1]

On 28 June 1969, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, New York, called the Stonewall Inn was raided by the police. Officers made 13 arrests before being confronted by bystanders and community members; this confrontation led to the Stonewall riots. [3]

On 28 June 1970 (exactly one year later), approximately five thousand people gathered on Christopher Street outside the Stonewall Inn in commemoration of the riots and marched up Sixth Avenue to Central Park. [4] This event is widely considered the first Pride March in history. [5]

The first March of Pride in Buenos Aires occurred on 28 June 1992. Participants gathered in front of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral and marched to the National Congress of Argentina. The march was made up of about 250 people, many of whom wore masks to avoid being recognized. [6] The group of marchers included members of the Radical Civic Union and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. [7]
