The prime minister who didn’t attend the parade
The “Justice and Equality” of the Kurti Government excludes LGBTIQ+ people.

It took continuous public pressure from LGBTIQ+ activists for the government to finally light up the building with rainbow colors on the evening of May 17.
It has been 100 days and things do not look hopeful when it comes to changing this attitude. The silence and disregard toward LGBTIQ+ rights continue.
Attending the parade should be the least that prime minister Kurti could do.
