Demonstrators and Counterdemonstrators

"Marsch für die Familie" ("March for the Family") is a demonstration held in Vienna every year at the same time as the Rainbow Parade. It's organized by the "Plattform Familie", a melting pot of right-wing conservative Christian and far-right groups.

The Rainbow Parade usually "takes place in the Austrian capital every year in support of equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people." But this year the whole celebration was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. Thus the rejoicing marchers for the family became the main demonstrators and the supporters of Vienna Pride, who usually form an overwhelming majority, became counterdemonstrants only approximately equal in number.

The provocatice ladies on the right picture sought the nearness to the familiy marchers, and I sought the opportunity to take a picture of this. I'm afraid none of us succeeded. I took these photos on Stephansplatz, where both demonstrations started, more or less separated by the police.
