OUR DEMANDS

For the 29ᵉ edition of the Pride March in Marseille, Pride Marseille and the Marseille LGBTI+ world have chosen the motto "Straight in the eyes". A proud look that is not afraid to face the world, this is what the LGBTQIA+ communities wish to convey!

These eyes are at once a challenge, a call, a demand, and a pride. They say: "We don't want to look down anymore. We want to look ourselves in the eye. We want to look our parents and friends in the eye. We want to look every passer-by in the eye. We want to look our colleagues, our doctors in the eye. We want to be able to look the police in the eye, in the street or in a police station.

We want our views to exist and to be part of the social organization and public policies. We want to look the State straight in the eye, to claim our rights and to fight for a more just and inclusive society. We want to face and revolt against the violence we suffer every day. We don't want to lower our eyes to our aggressors, to anyone. We want to look them straight in the eye without being afraid. Without being afraid not to be understood, not to be respected, not to be believed.

We don't want to have to lie or hide anymore. We want our multiple identities to shine through our eyes.
