Parisian Scenes - Day 21

Paris is preparing for the pride parade that will take place tomorrow. Even in the Hotel de Ville, the city hall of Paris, they hang flags to identify and honor this occasion.

Despite some homophobic incidents in the city, there is still a rather large LGBTQ community in Paris, and it is great that they are acknowledged and celebrated.

Personally, I just don't understand why people don't live and let live, why people think it's a sin that hurts their God when someone else (not them, someone totally different!) is of the wrong gender / religion / color / nationality / ethnic origin / sexual orientation / anything else I forgot to mention here.
I believe in respecting all people for who they are, and whatever God you believe in - he/she/it made them that way too, and probably for a good reason.

So just love thy neighbor, no strings attached, okay?

Happy pride parade, everyone!
