'Bogus' photos of naked men, crucifixes and kisses on the lips However, many of these photos were not from Saturday’s march through Paris. Just like every year, there was a wide array of extravagant and often provocative clothing.Īfter the march, as is often the case, certain social media users began posting photos that they claimed were taken during the march along with homophobic messages. As with all Pride Marches, there was a festive atmosphere, with many using the occasion to show their creativity with costumes. Hundreds of thousands of people marched on Saturday, June 30, in the streets of the French capital to call for equal rights for the LGBTQ community and to condemn discrimination. However, many of the photos circulating were not at Saturday’s march- they were taken years ago and not in Paris.
After the Gay Pride March that took place in Paris on Saturday, several different far-right organisations and individuals supporting such extreme causes started sharing “shocking” photos online to denounce what they called a “shameful” march.
