At the conclusion of the procession, Klakočar Zupančič said that freedom would not be taken for a long time. “That is why it is my duty to defend your and my right to express ourselves freely and to love freely. It is also my duty to invite you to do the same yourself. Especially when it comes to those who express themselves in a different way than you, « she urged.
She added that we still live in a society where LBGTIQ+ people are often inaudible, rejected, insulted, humiliated and embarrassed, but that freedom should be fought in. According to her, every step they take on the streets today is a step towards a world where no one will be persecuted for who he loves, who he feels and who he is.
Minister of a Solidar Future Simon Maljevac He emphasized that pride is a political act. Not because they would politicize it, but because the system puts it on the brink every time. But we know that the fight LGBTIQ+ community is not separate from the fight for accessible housing, for a safe age, for free public health, against additional arms and sending people to the battlefield, for a safe future without exploitation. The fight of one minority is the fight of all, he said.

It is a place where everyone can create a home where we respect love in all its forms and where we build a community on the basis of equality, « he assured.
The system is updated
The organizers emphasize that the password system is updated, the community insists on a political stance that reveals the gap between the promises of institutions and the reality of the daily life of LGBTIQ+ persons. “It is a reminder that digital tools that are supposed to connect too often serve to control and spread hatred. It is a requirement that the digital and political future will not be built on discrimination, algorithmic violence and systemic unresponsiveness, « the Parade Society wrote.
Participants with a parade require a more stringent punishment of hatred crimes and the establishment of an official record of such acts based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and the responsibility of digital platforms for algorithmic promotion of hate speech and violence. They also require an educational system that includes all, and the legal protection of digital rights and the immediate regulation of abuse of artificial intelligence that deepens inequalities.
The pride parade 2025 is not just a celebration of identities – it is a warning, a call for social transformation and a demand for systemic justice. It is a call for radical social transformation. It is a demand for justice based on a system – not privileges. It is a reminder that without equality for everyone, there is no freedom for anyone, they wrote in the society.
