Critical pride (Spanish: Orgullo crítico) is the name of several annual protest demonstrations of LGBT people held in Madrid and several other Spanish cities. The organizers of critical pride demonstrations present them as an alternative to the original pride parades and festivals, which they consider depoliticized and institutionalized.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The movement calls for the non-commodification and repolitization of gay pride, and criticizes pink capitalism, gentrification, homonormativity, pinkwashing and homonationalism.[7][8]
