A massive crowd fills Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 1, 2025, in defense of the LGBTQ+ community and against hate and violence. With flags, glitter, and slogans of resistance, thousands of people and more than 60 social organizations and LGBTQ+ groups fill Plaza de Mayo to celebrate Pride March 2025, under the slogan ''Faced with hate and violence, more pride and unity.'' From early morning, the historic square transforms into a meeting point with fairs, shows, and cultural activities, before the main march sets off for Congress at 4 p.m. The 34th edition of the Pride March takes place in a context of strong opposition to hate speech and symbolic violence, which is why organizers issue a statement calling for the defense of democracy and hard-won rights. ''Pride triumphs every time we embrace our identities, when we reject the mandate of shame, when we freely express our sexual orientations and gender identities in the public sphere,'' states the Historical Line Organizing Committee.
