'We'll take not even one step back.' Hundreds of thousands in London, Madrid and Budapest celebrate LGBTQ pride and mark 50th anniversary of Stonewall Inn uprising.

“Elders without closets,” read a street-long white banner carried by protesters marching along Madrid’s main artery. Members of the first generation of Spanish gay rights activists were at the front, followed by the colorful parade of floats. This year’s pride in Madrid has also become remarkably political after the uber-conservative Vox party made significant gains in national and local elections.
Beatriz Gimeno, a long-time LGBTQ activist and far-left Podemos party lawmaker, told The Associated Press that “reactionary” remarks by the far-right were a reminder of how relevant the battle for gay rights remains.
