O que podíamos ganhar em ter o Orgulho LGBT de Lisboa numa só data?
Ainda não é este ano que a Marcha do Orgulho LGBT de Lisboa e o Arraial Pride voltam a decorrer no mesmo dia. Há uma semana, a associação responsável pelo Arraial divulgou no Facebook a data com a imagem, mas limitou-se a isso. Não há um programa, nem sequer a antecedência necessária para se divulgar um evento desta importância a todos os potenciais interessados, que estão muito para além de um círculo restrito ligado ao associativismo. São pessoas de diferentes cidades de Portugal, são emigrantes portugueses no estrangeiro e são também turistas que não encontram informação fidedigna acerca do Pride de Lisboa com a antecedência que lhes permita marcar férias. Isto não acontece com outras celebrações do Orgulho em qualquer capital europeia.
