After the official announcement of recent weeks in which Frosinone was indicated as the host venue, now there is also an indication of the route of the “Lazio Pride” which will take place on June 22nd. According to the organisation’s official Facebook page, the procession will start from Piazza Quaranta Martiri in Vallerotonda, near the northern entrance of the “Matusa Park”, and will wind along the central Via Aldo Moro, and then turn left at the end of the road to enter via Marco Tullio Cicerone, until you reach Piazza Falcone e Borsellino, which houses the car park in front of the main entrance of the municipal villa.
«Let’s color Frosinone with Love – say the organizers – We ask the associations, movements, collectives, trade unions, the student network, the political forces and in general everyone to join the “Lazio Pride” in Frosinone and to relaunch the commitment to a fairer and more equal society, where no one feels excluded. Because Pride is good for the whole of society, let’s leave a better and free world to tomorrow’s generations, and let’s fight to change the current one. Whether you are a member of the LGBT+ community, an ally or simply a supporter of human rights, your commitment is crucial.” It seems, therefore, that everything is ready now. Frosinone will host the ninth edition of “Lazio Pride” which will return to the Ciociaria capital five years after the historic 2019 edition, which filled the streets of the city.
It was precisely following Lazio Pride 2019 that it was born the Arcigay of Frosinone, which chose to call itself “Stonewall” in honor of the Stonewall Riots of 1969 which started the first Pride in history in New York. And this time it is Arcigay of Frosinone, together with the Lazio Pride Committee, who are directly organizing the event.
«Bringing Lazio Pride back to Frosinone is a fantastic result for us that crowns an intense journey that since 2019 has paved the way for the construction of our association and our community in this area. It means returning to shine a spotlight on LGBTQIA+ people and the battles we carry out, together with the need to continue a commitment to visibility for our community. For us Pride is reclamation, rights, visibility, pride and it is also family” stated Eleonora Ferri, president of Arcigay “Stonewall” Frosinone, and Gianmarco Capognasecretary of Arcigay Frosinone, following the officialization of the Ciociaria capital as the host venue of the event and who in July 2023 had presented the proposal for Frosinone’s candidacy to Lazio Pride.
