Its aim is to demonstrate for equal rights and equal treatment for LGBTQI+ people, as well as celebrate the pride in Gay and Lesbian Culture.
History
Since its inception in 2015 Salento Pride has taken place in Gallipoli, an extremely popular gay holiday destination [4] in Puglia. But for 2020 the organisers decided to hold the parade in Brindisi.
The organisers for the 2020 event were local LGBTQI+ rights organisations based in Puglia: Ra.Ne. - Rainbow Network, ACQUE – Associazione per la Cultura QUEer, Arcigay Salento, LA COLLETTIVA transfemminista queer Brindisi and LeA - Liberamente e Apertamente.[5]
Pride in Puglia
Puglia, which is considered to be one of Italy's most gay-friendly spots, hosts three annual Pride parades. Bari Pride, Salento Pride and Taranto Pride.[6]
