Chile: Santiago Pride Parade

In 2015 when I was a student in Santiago, I also attended Pride parade, celebrating and reaffirming the rights of all sexual orientations and gender identities. This time it was a little colder, but with the same amount of "special" alfajores and beers being openly sold in the streets.

The march started at Plaza Italia, near the main metro hub called Baquedano. In typical Chilean style, the march supposedly started at 2pm, but things got moving around 3:15.

Still gathering, waiting for the march to start.

The float for MOVILH, el Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual, or the Movement of Homosexual Integration and Liberation.

Finally starting to move! Moving west along Alameda, the main east-west street in much of Santiago.

Continuing along Alameda towards the Palace, with an old church in the distance.
