Pisa79

The March Against Violence Against Homosexuals (Italian: Marcia contro la violenza sugli/sulle omosessuali), also known as Pisa79, held in Pisa on November 24, 1979, was a protest march against anti-LGBT violence and aimed at promoting LGBT rights, as a reaction to a homophobic murder and the general climate of anti-LGBT violence. The event was organized by local LGBT collective "Orfeo". As the first homosexual pride demonstration authorized by a Questura (the local provincial headquarters of Italian police) and sponsored by a municipality, it is considered to be Italy's first Gay pride march.
