The Pride parade in Oslo was canceled this summer after the shooting in the center of Oslo. Now, Oslo Pride wants to organize a rainbow parade and solidarity demonstration.
“Anyone who wants to stand up for diversity and love is invited to join. Bring a flag with you and show what kind of society we want to have,” Oslo Pride leader Dan Bjørke stated in a press release.
On Saturday, September 10, a rainbow parade will be organized. It will pass through the streets of Norway’s capital.
The parade will end in a solidarity demonstration on the Kontraskjæret at Akershus fortress.
On the night of Saturday, June 25, two people were killed and dozens injured when 42-year-old Zaniar Matapour opened fire on two pubs in the center of Oslo, including the queer nightclub London Pub.
The Pride parade, which was to be held later that day, was canceled due to security concerns.
