CASERTA PRIDE RETURNS ON JUNE 16, 2018
BERNARDO DIANA (RAIN ARCIGAY): "WE CAN'T LIVE IN THE SHADOW. THE 'LGBT CENTER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN' WILL OPEN SOON IN CASTEL VOLTURNO."“
“"Two years after the historic first edition, we are happy to announce that Caserta Pride will be held on June 16, 2018." Bernardo Diana, president of Rain Arcigay Caserta Onlus, officially announces the second edition of the event, which is already considered a defining moment in the city's history.
“"The Caserta Pride Parade," Diana continues, "had the merit of breaking the ice between the Caserta residents and the LGBT+ community: even in Terra di Lavoro, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people shouldn't live in the shadows. They can and must work, show themselves in public, walk hand in hand, and exchange a kiss: this is more than necessary after the recent homophobic attack on Easter Monday.
It is no coincidence that Pride means "pride" in English; it is the tool through which one can free oneself from shame and the oppression of social judgment.
In every country, Pride events represent a united struggle for rights: for the LGBT+ community, workers, women, people with disabilities, the homeless, refugees, and migrants. Any inequality, denial of rights, or inhumane conditions affects every person as a human being.
Bernardo Diana concludes: "Everyone should feel involved in this demonstration, participating with strength and enthusiasm. Each of us can do something to ensure that everyone is truly free and equal before the law and in social circles. Finally, we are proud to announce that the funds raised will be used to open the 'LGBT Center of the Mediterranean' in Castel Volturno, in a property confiscated from the Camorra: a space for social housing for LGBT+ people in difficulty.
We invite institutions, political forces and citizens to support Pride and its welcome project, sharing the informational materials, telling friends and relatives about it, offering their services as volunteers, and participating in the June demonstration.”
