The third edition of Ragusa Pride will be held on June 29th. As with previous editions, Ragusa Pride 2024 enjoys the patronage and support of the Municipality of Ragusa, other Municipalities in the province and bodies, institutions and companies. “Perhaps we are not fully aware – declares the mayor Peppe Cassì – of how much work, on the part of the associations involved but also of our offices, goes into organizing an event like Ragusa Pride, which has the aim of raising awareness and therefore, to achieve this, to create the conditions for involvement.
I am sure that thanks to the collaboration of all the actors involved, whom I thank, both these objectives, raising awareness and involving, will be achieved again this year by an event that belongs to everyone, which combines fun and learning”.
“It is important to stand alongside and support the demands of the LGBTQIA+ community – continues the councilor for inclusion policies, social services and equal opportunities Elvira Adamo – because the people who are part of it do not yet see recognized rights and dignity. Welcoming the uniqueness of each and every one is a sign of civilization, progress, evolution. Contributing to ensuring that minorities are no longer minorities helps everyone to live in a better country and open up spaces for discussion. We should always reflect on the fact that recognizing the rights of those who have fewer or none at all does not erode the acquired rights of others. Happy Ragusa Pride!”
