The third edition of Gozo Pride, organized by LGBTI+ Gozo, celebrated LGBTIQ+ rights with a Pride March in Rabat, Gozo.

Various activities were held in Villa Rundle Gardens, raising awareness and offering psychosocial and specialized services for LGBTIQ+ individuals and their families.

Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri highlighted that the Pride March is a celebration of love, diversity, equality, and human rights. While Malta has made significant progress in this sector, he emphasized that obstacles still exist.

Camilleri also stressed the importance of continuing the fight for equality and noted that the Pride March is not only a celebration but also a demonstration of unity and solidarity, especially with those still facing discrimination.

Parliamentary Secretary for Equality and Reforms, Rebecca Buttigieg, noted Malta’s advancements in civil rights laws for the LGBTIQ+ community, which are now among the best in Europe.

However, she acknowledged the need for further work to change attitudes and combat misinformation. She also highlighted the introduction of psychosocial services for the LGBTIQ+ community and their families, including outreach services in Gozo, through an agreement with FSWS.

‘I don’t want to give these messages any importance, BUT I feel the need to raise awareness’, wrote Tina.

‘A product of man’s selfishness that goes against God’s plan’, wrote one commenter, whereas others argued that it would have negative effects on the child.

Others even referred to Italy’s passing of surrogacy as a universal criminal act.

‘I get that not everyone will agree with my journey, BUT at the end of the day, my family is built on love, and that’s what truly matters.’

‘As I always say, love is love. Hate is NOT something I like to entertain, so I push it away.’

A video uploaded to social media by ‘Din Malta Tagħna’ shows a man, shirtless, in the middle of the road in Paceville waving around what seems to be a metal pole.

The man can first be seen waving the object at a car driving by before turning towards people on the pavement watching on.

It is unclear what prompted the man to do this, whether anyone was hurt and whether authorities addressed the situation.
