Barcelona was the birthplace of the gay, lesbian and transsexual movement in Spain when, in 1970, the country's first clandestine group was formed in the city. Since then, civil associations have advanced a great deal, and the brave struggle for equality and public recognition of the existence of the LGBT community has allowed for a mainly positive social attitude towards homosexuality to develop.
For second year, Barcelona is getting ready to welcome you this June 2010 to the Mediterranean's most important Gay Pride, Pride Barcelona'10.
30 associations, businesses and the entire LGBT community have come together to organise a new Pride in Barcelona which will provide culture, sport, debate, entertainment and parties for a whole week. It is a free and non-profit making celebration which will show the best the city has to offer, and will also include the main towns in Catalonia as part of a high profile initiative.
From 18 to 28 June 2010, Pride Barcelona will be the Gay Pride of the Mediterranean. We will enjoy the city of Barcelona and all the diversity that Catalonia offers at an event which is preparing all sorts of activities, including film, culture, entertainment, sport and debates. It will end with a parade full of colour and a great free party on Sunday 27 June.
The setting for this parade will be Barcelona's carrer Sepúlveda and the Avinguda Maria Cristina, at the foot of the Palau Nacional. This is the venue for the institutions' exhibition and the great Pride Barcelona closing party.
During the week prior, many venues in Barcelona and other Catalan towns will be hosting many other activities, ranging from the LGBT Fire! film festival LGBT to an amateur sports competition.
