"In this area stand flagpoles carrying the flags of the 63 countries that criminalize same-sex relations or gender expression. "In 12 of these countries the penalty for homosexuality is death. "These flags are a Monument of visibility' against the prosecution of thousands who cannot be who they are and love who they want to love. "The Zero Flags Project is a countdown to zero flags in the project. https://www.zeroflagsproject.nl #AmsterdamPride #AmsterdamPride2026 #WorldPride #WorldPride2026 #Amsterdam #WorldPrideAmsterdam #PrideWasARiot

two panoramas from the day14 World Pride music festival, and two shots of performers even more women of color from other countries congratulating NL on 25 years of marriage equality. congratulating on the priviledge of Dutch youth that they have only ever known marriage equality. reminding Dutch queer people how the fight is not over (this event was sold out, so i went to the back/exit, asked people leaving for their wristband, got one, returned to the front/entrance, and asked politely if i could go back in ^^) #AmsterdamPride #AmsterdamPride2026 #WorldPride #WorldPride2026 #Amsterdam #WorldPrideAmsterdam #PrideWasARiot
