Members of Argentina’s LGBTQ community hold their annual Pride march Saturday afternoon, with speeches, banners and floats targeting what the group sees as discriminatory policies by President Javier Milei. Under the slogan “There is no freedom without rights,” marchers will be demanding passage of a comprehensive anti-discrimination law. Milei, a far-right libertarian who has been compared to Donald Trump, angered the community by dissolving the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, as well as the National Institute Against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism in his first year in office. He also trimmed funding for reproductive health programs as part of his “chainsaw” cost-cutting plan.
