Report from EuroPride in Thessaloniki 2024
Euroforum at Europride: we carried messages of church inclusion and reminded all interested about LGBTI+ affirmative nature of Orthodox theology.
In 2024, the Europride took place in a traditionally and predominantly Orthodox country for the second time (after Belgrade 2022). It was the first occasion to celebrate the progress of such a country in terms of acceptance of LGBTI+ people and respect for their rights: it is this year that Greece introduced marriage equality!
