Rotterdam Pride is for everyone, and that\u2019s why organisation Resist Their Reignbow protested against the Pride on Saturday. Organisations such as the Pegida and the Roze Leeuw were welcome at the Pride Walk last weekend, and people who are against Islam and women\u2019s rights do not belong at a party for equality, said Resist Their Reignbow.<\/p>\n

Still, about 1700 people walked the Pride Walk on Saturday, according to the organisation. The walk is a parade through the center of Rotterdam where everyone can show that they\u2019re proud of who they are. Erasmus Pride, the LGBTQ+ association for students and employees of Erasmus University also took part in this event. President Erasmus Pride Fabian Lips: \u201cIt\u2019s important to show that we, LGBT+ people, exist and that we deserve the same rights as everyone else. Not everywhere in the world you can be your true self, even in the Netherlands it\u2019s still difficult for some people. So the Pride is important!\u201d<\/p>\n
