Some 20 "gay patriots" denouncing immigration and "LGBT drifts" remained at a distance from the procession, supervised by the CRS.
The procession started on Saturday at the beginning of the afternoon. Only about fifteen members of the far right Eros collective, whose announced participation was denounced by the organisations taking part in the march, gathered separately.
Backlash grows as far right ‘gay patriots’ plan to join Paris Pride march
France has some of the strongest LGBT protections in Europe, but far right groups are increasingly seeking to politicise the movement. A small anti-immigration “homo-nationalist” group has received backing to join Paris's annual pride march on Saturday.
June is the month of Pride. A time of visibility, memory, struggle for the rights of LGBT+ people. But this year, the Paris Pride, is facing an unprecedented reactionary offensive.
A homonationalist collective is trying to set up a media coup to participate in the march of Paris prides. The entourage of Bruno Retailleau and the prefecture of Paris have asked the organizers to ensure his safety in the demonstration.
The collective Eros, self-declared "gay patriote", announced its intention to participate in the Paris Pride on Saturday 28 June, with the support of the prefecture and the police. The Inter-LGBT warns that if this far right procession marches, the march will not go.
