Why Is Pride Still Important in 2018 ?
Gay pride festivals are a reminder of what’s been done, and a push to keep working toward full equality. There are still so many rights unavailable to LGBTQ people around the world, even in the most progressive countries.
The LGBTQ acronym takes in a lot of different identities, genders, and sexualities which makes it nearly impossible to lump all of us together. Pride festivals are the time of year when we all try to come together.
With calls of travel boycotts and increased news about the rise of fascism and anti-progressive governments, there is much to remember about gay rights around the world. While some countries are marching forward, some are inevitably moving backward.

Summertime is the time for festivals: music, food, cultural, camping, movie…if there’s something that can be celebrated, there’s almost always a festival for it in the summer.
Gay pride is no different. Pride matters. Maybe not to everyone. But to some. And that’s all you really need. Pride Costa Rica 2018 will take place July 1 in its ninth consecutive year.
The event will start at noon leaving from the Leon Cortes statue in La Sabana and will go through Paseo Colon, 2nd Avenue and will finish at the Plaza de la Democracia.
