As you well know, right now, the most important worldwide event for the LGBT community is taking place in Madrid and the city council has released this beautiful video asking Paris for a very special favour.
Here you have a link to the Twitter account of Madrid City Council, where they’ve shared this same video with French subtitles and right below you’ll be able to find the English translation because this beautiful message needs to be shared in every language!
Enjoy this wonderful week! Be proud! Have fun! Keep on fighting!
“Dear Paris, it’s me... Madrid
I’m writing to you because there’s something I want to ask you, I need your help. Paris has always been the city for the ones who are in love, the city of dreamy sighs and the “yes, I do”. And that’s why we all think of you as the city of love. And that, my dear Paris, is what i want from you. I’d like you to lend me your title. That’s it: “Madrid, the city of love”... can you imagine?
Very soon, our streets are going to be filled with guests from all over the world and believe me, that is something we are really prouf of. It will be our pride to become their home, their family, their friends, their companions, their neighbours. Our streets are going to be filled with smiles, winks, applauses, hugs. Our houses, our bars, our squares, our eyes, our hearts will also be filled with love. We are expecting an unprecedented amount of love per square meter.
And you can’t even imagine how happy we are about this because if there’s something a city needs to be filled with, that something is love. This love has nothing to do with names or social conditions and it doesn’t follow convention. It’s a kind of love that is diverse, free and proud, just like we are, just like Madrid.
Paris, dear friend, we’re asking you to lend us your title as the city of love during the celebration of the World Pride 2017. Whoever you love, Madrid loves you so... will you let us use that beautiful title of yours?”
