Scenes from Colombo's first ever Pride March yesterday, continuing the protest against the 'sTaBiLiTy' ie repression of the Gota-Ranil government. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
Beginning at the Liberty roundabout, where the LGBTQ+ community gathered for the first time a few years ago to protest after Sirisena's homophobic 'butterfly' remark during the constitutional crisis. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
This incredible flag colouring the whole stretch from Kollupitiya to #Gotagogama. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
Folks taking issue with the Pride March and with people bringing up the issues on posters here that 'distract' from the 'goal' - our struggle should be one against all oppression, and it is stronger because of these voices. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
Expressions - of self, of love, of politics. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
'No differences in love' - pulling into the Galle Face stretch. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
Galle Face awash in the colours of the parade. More power to the LGBTQ+ community who organised and claimed space with this protest. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #Pride
