📅 17 May 2012 📍 Albania

LGBTQ activists rode bicycles along the central boulevard in a public action challenging hostility and the pressure to remain invisible. Pro LGBT and the Alliance Against Discrimination of LGBT organized the event; an official movement video recounts harassment with explosives thrown near participants. The action asserted queer people’s right to occupy public space and tell their own stories.
