WorldPride Madrid 2017: More power to the LGBTIQ community

On the climax of the 10-day WorldPride festivities at Europe's LGBT diversity capital, Madrid, hundreds of thousands of people marched for LGBTIQ rights, on Saturday, under tight security. A parade of 52 floats walked through the Spanish capital and into the night, and was led by all of Spain’s major political parties, both left and right. “Madrid wants you to remember, and to never forget, that whoever you love, Madrid loves you,” Madrid's Mayor Manuela Carmena wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
