Type | Demonstration |
Night prides (French: prides de nuit) are protest demonstrations of LGBTI people alternative to the Pride marches, which are considered depoliticized.[1]
The movement was launched by ACT UP, OUTrans, Femmes en Lutte 93 and other associations in Paris in 2015, opposing what they perceived as a depoliticization of Pride marches and their loss of autonomy against public powers and pink capitalism.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
In Paris, two other editions were organized in 2016 and 2017, although in 2018 they decided not to summon a fourth protest in order to avoid converting it in a symbolic institutionalized event that would not lead to do other actions.[8] However, since 2016 the movement were already extended to other French cities, such as Toulouse, Lyon or Nice.[9][10][11][12]
There are similar actions in other countries too,[13] specially in the context of the movement Gay Shame.[14]
