Tallinn Pride 2017🌈

Hello!


This year I took part of an event called "Tallinn Pride". In case you don't know, Pride festival is held to support equal rights and people of LGBT+ community. This year's Pride festival in Tallinn was part of Baltic Pride and it was the first time after 10 years the Pride event occured in Tallinn. When I heard there was going to be Pride event in Tallinn I immediately told myself: "I'm so going there." Event took place in Old town on 8th July.

The parade started from the gates of Viru street. Participants were gathering to Viru gates and on MusumÀgi hill. I went on the hill and was amazed to see so many people with rainbow colored flags and other products. As it was 2 o'clock, parade started. I was cheerin and walkin' along side the people supporting Love. I was smiling and wavin my flag. We walked through Old town to Square of Freedom to cinema SÔprus - the final destination. There were some very outstanding people with their outfits and props: sparkling suits, rainbow wings, pink train etc...

Near cinema SÔprus we got to enjoy an Open-air concert which included some very cool perfoermers - Creep party, St. Cheatersburg... Oh, and people who played a big part of organizing this year's Baltic Pride.
The concert was great, performers were cool and it was nice people happy and showing their support to LGBT community. I can't believe there were 1800 participants in Pride event (Baltic if I'm not mistakening). That is more than I expected :) 

In the I was happy. I'm glad I decided to take part of event such as Tallinn Pride. Event turned out to be more Positive than I thought it may be. What made it better was getting to see a couple of familiar faces. I took part because I support LGBT+ people and their rights. 🌈 #Loveislove
