Gay Celebration Buenos Aires: Through the Years
The pride has grown into a huge celebration from its down-to-earth beginnings in 1991.
Due to a struggle with city officials, 2014 almost became the first year the party would not take place.
It did prevail and has grown ever since, although some locals oppose that the Identity festival March has get too politicized to include topics and groups that include little to undertake with Gay Pride.
“In the first year 17 people participated in the procession, in the second year there were 50 and in the third year we had 300,” says Rodolfo Peralta, representative of the Argentine Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Trans (Federación Argentina de Lesbianas Gays Bisexuales y Trans).
“In the fourth year, the year I began marching, we had 600 people.”

The Proudest Street in the World: A Brief History of the Buenos Aires Pride March
Each November, Buenos Aires’s Pride march proceeds down a ten-block stretch that is the “spine of Argentine history,” fulfilling Eva Perón’s famous prediction: “I shall return, and I shall be multitudes.”
Madam Eva Perón, measuring almost six foot six, with extraordinary breasts and the obligatory blonde ponytail, hails the crowd. She’s sitting on the hood of a car that has just barely managed to see her through cancer, successive military governments, inflation, and mechanical neglect. The crowd waves back, dancing rather than marching in her wake. She’s not the last travesti in the universe, she’s one among hundreds. What weighs more in this atmosphere, a pound of feathers or a pound of glitter? Which is more scandalous, two women kissing or chants calling for respect for bodies that don’t fit into strict heterosexual pigeonholes? For the passing of a queer marriage law, a commandment of gender identity and so many more whose ultimate goal is to bring an end to the generalized idea that there are first-class citizens, second-class citizens, and others who don’t even register as existing.
