Gay - LGTB Pride Parade in Madrid

Madrid Gay Pride (Orgullo Gay) is an international gig with similar parades taking places in cities across Europe (Paris, Berlin, etc.) on the same day.

The event kicks off with an inaugural festival in Chueca (a city district were most of the gay shops, cafes and bars and some smaller clubs are located), followed by a round of discussions, debates and other events in the week which leads up to the parade and party.  An awards ceremony bestows Pink Triangles upon those who have assisted in the advancement of gay rights, and Pink Bricks upon those who have hindered it.

Gay Madrid

Madrid is full of sights, museums and world-renowned art galleries either.  Not surprisingly Madrid has become an insider tip for party guys from all over Europe.

You should know that very progressive laws of gay marriage and anti-discrimination were approved by Spain's government and parliament in 2005.
