Buenos Aires, Argentina - November 02, 2024 Buenos Aires City’s Plaza de Mayo was flushed with people celebrating pride the Argentine way on Saturday: with a party that is also a protest. The event started at 10 a.m. and demonstrators marched to Argentina’s Congress building at 4 p.m. Argentina’s inaugural pride march took place in 1992, near the height of the HIV epidemic, and was the first of its kind in Latin America. That first demonstration was held on July 2 to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall uprising, when queer patrons of the inn in Greenwich Village, New York, rose up against the city’s police department following a raid. However, the event was subsequently moved to November 4 to honor Argentina’s first LGBTQIA+ organization, Nuestro Mundo, which was established in November 1967. An estimated 1.3 million people attended the march in 2022. The November 2 march isn’t the only pride parade of the year. The biggest marches, such as Rosario Pride, have already come and gone, but cities like Bariloche, Cafayate and Mendoza will be holding their own later in November and well into December.
