This weekend, Pride has been celebrated in several cities around the world – in London, Oslo, San Francisco, and Santiago, among others.
In Turkey, several people have been arrested after participating in a small, banned parade.
On Saturday, people marched in Mexico City for the rights of LGBTQI individuals. The crowd in the Mexican capital chanted slogans against hate crimes and discrimination, and called for "sexual freedom".
The police and organizers reported that over 100,000 people participated in the parade.
Today I'm marching so that we won't have to hide tomorrow, said 28-year-old Roberto Arellano to AFP.
Pride has also been celebrated closer to home – in Finland and Norway.
Saturday's Pride parade in Helsinki also gathered 100,000 participants, according to the news agency STT.
In Oslo Pride, around 70,000 people participated, according to the Norwegian Aftenposten.
"Be who you are" and "Love whoever you want" read the signs in Oslo.
A corresponding march – but banned by local authorities and much shorter – was held on Sunday in Istanbul with only a few hundred participants.
However, participant Iris Mozalar says that the parade in Turkey is more about "resistance than celebration" in light of the country's conservative government.
We're fighting to survive, says the 24-year-old to AFP.
Several people were arrested during the Turkish Pride parade, according to AFP's video reporter.
