Our Aim
We are all living in a world of diverse sexualities. We will hold a parade that will turn Midousuji Street−Osaka’s main street−rainbow-colored. This will be a starting point in creating a society in which all sexualities are recognized and respected.
Furthermore, we understand this parade to be a festival that celebrates diverse sexualities, in which every participant will march with liveliness and sparkle, proudly bringing messages about their sexualities and lives.
Now, let’s get together at Midousuji Street to make a big Rainbow!!
We sincerely hope that the footsteps of each participant will together form a big rainbow.
●Examples of diverse sexualities: Heterosexuals, homosexuals(lesbians and gays), bisexuals, transgendered and transsexual people, asexual people, etc.
