Pride month’s main event will be hosted in downtown Syntagma Square on Saturday. The parade celebrates the landmark law legalizing marriage and adoption for same-sex couples, a crowning achievement after years of advocacy by LGBTQI+ rights in Greece. However, efforts continue under the motto “One Law is Not Enough,” highlighting ongoing social inclusion challenges for LGBTQI+ individuals despite legislative progress.
