Turku Pride 2016

So, this Saturday, I participated in the Turku Pride parade, which was really interesting, really fun and an amazing experience. The people participating had amazing spirit, and a lot of energy. I've never been to a pride parade before, or even seen one, and I had a really fascinating and great first experience!
Meeting up with likeminded people who support the same things you do, especially in such large numbers, is always an amazing occurance. Being part of such a large group with such an important message and such a fighting spirit is something truely unique, and I'd love for all of you to experience it for yourselves, if you haven't done it yet. If you have been to a pride parade or anything similar, please leave a comment with your experiences below, because I'd really like to know!
As a final note I would like to say this: being gay, bisexual, asexual or any other sexuality is just as normal as liking a specific type of food. Your sexuality is valid and real, and you should never be harmed, degraded or harmed in any other way because of who you are or what sexuality you have. Having equal rights for all sexualities is one of the biggest matters in our society right now, because equality is one of the corner stones of a great community, which is the foundation for a good state.
Love should not be a priveledge, it should be a right.
