– So many have never been and it is also huge groups, said Fred Griffin, deputy director at the Pride parade.
It may also be an attendance record. According to Griffin, the previous year was approximately 600 000 people who gathered to watch the Pride train but with bright sunshine may this year be even more.
– It is a perfect parade weather and people have already begun SEAT ONESELF themselves with their picnic baskets, he says.New this year is a sports section with AIK Stockholm and Kiruna IF. And this gives us hope for a change in fan culture.
– Now take the sport a responsibility and with it, perhaps we can change the culture, said Fred Griffin. Kiruna IF began in June, the process of become the first LGBT-certified sports club in the country.Johan Köhler, President of the association, believes that sport has a great responsibility regarding LGBT rights.
– We are all connected to Riksidrottsförbundet and they have rules about discrimination and we must live up to, he says.
The parade is expected to also political leaders from all political parties except the SD and KD. The Conservatives have not given clear information yet.
The parade started from Maria Square at 13th
