El mes del Orgullo es Junio, un mes lleno de actividades e iniciativas alrededor del mundo en las que recordamos que la lucha por los derechos LGBT está muy lejos de finalizar, pero las primeras marchas (parades) ya están sucediéndose en diferentes partes del globo. Este fin de semana Tokyo, y más concretamente la prefectura de Shibuya, ha acogido su marcha. Bajo el slogan de Change, cambio, miles de japoneses se han manifestado para, entre otras cosas, reclamar una ley de matrimonio igualitario, algo que no existe en ese país.

Thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people paraded through Tokyo's Shibuya district on Sunday to express hope that Japan will further embrace gender equality and diversity. The LGBT parade was the finale to the annual Tokyo Rainbow Pride festival, and this year's theme was "Change." According to the organizer, an estimated 5,000 people took part in the parade, which was sponsored by a record 190 companies and organizations, including big names such as NTT Corp., Sony Corp. and Google Inc. ????

初めて参加する前は、LGBTの権利を主張するために歩いているものと思っていて、"私はいいや"と思ってたんだけど、実際に歩いてみると沿道にいる人々から逆にすっごいパワーをもらってセロトニンが大放出な不思議体験をしてから癖になり、毎年参加しています笑 #loveandpeace #trp2017 #trp
