The power of a simple capture! 🏳️‍🌈✊🏽 #Repost @hopefuldreamdefendor • • • • • • Making these photos was very scary, though I believe it was worth it. The “RIGA” sign in front of the monument of freedom represents each individual as a part of Riga. Being LGBT in Latvia is difficult. Only 25% of citizens of Latvia agree that there is nothing wrong with same-sex relationships, compared to 72% average rating in European Union. May this picture be pride to us and hope for others! 🏳️‍🌈 #tuneesiviens #latvia #pridemonth #riga #yourenotalone #lgbt #gay . . 💌 Thank you for sharing it wihh us dear! #ActiveRainbow #queer #loveislove #activism #initiative #visibility #pridemonth2020 #lgbtcommunity #lgbtq #freedom #monument #rainbow #flag #inspiration (at Riga, Latvia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvHhotFbfb/?igshid=1dtaxv7xthk4v
