Night prides (in French, prides de nuit) are protest demonstrations of LGBTI people alternative to the Pride marches, which are considered depoliticized. [1]
The movement was launched by ACT UP, OUTrans, Femmes en Lutte 93 and other associations in Paris in 2015, opposing what they perceived as a depoliticization of Pride marches and their loss of autonomy against public powers and pink capitalism. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
In Paris, two other editions were organized in 2016 and 2017, although in 2018 they decided not to summon a fourth protest in order to avoid converting it in a symbolic institutionalized event that would not lead to do other actions. [8] However, since 2016 the movement were already extended to other French cities, such as Toulouse, Lyon or Nice. [9] [10] [11] [12]
There are similar actions in other countries too, [13] specially in the context of the movement Gay Shame. [14]
