Bogotá Pride is an annual Pride event held in Bogotá, Colombia on the last Sunday in June.[2] It is the largest pride parade in Colombia, attracting more than 100,000 participants in 2023.[3]

History[edit]

The first LGBT+ march in Bogotá occurred on June 28, 1983[4] when a group of around 32 homosexuals met to protest by marching from the Plaza de Toros de Bogotá to the Plazoleta de las Nieves;[5] this event is considered by some authors as the Colombia's first pride march.[6]

The first LGBT+ pride parade in Bogotá was held for the first time on June 28, 1996, organized by Grupo Equiláteros and activists Manuel Velandia and León Zuleta with a small number of participants.[7] The following year the parade gained strength thanks to the Cultural and Sports Week, created by the G&L organization, and which took place between June 21 and 30; That week included a parade along the Bogotá bike path in which a rainbow flag 16 meters long and 3 meters wide was displayed.[8][9]

Between 2003 and 2008 the march was called "March of Full LGBT+ Citizenship" and in 2009 and 2010 they were called "Marchs of Diverse Citizenships".[7] In 2019 the Bogotá pride march, which moved along Carrera Séptima from the National Park to the Plaza de Bolívar, brought together approximately 90,000 people.[10][11][12]

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bogotá LGBT+ pride march was suspended in 2020 and was replaced by a virtual event held on June 28.[13] The following year the in-person marches were resumed and took place on July 4.[14]
