After a speech on the Boston Square in Laval (Mayenne), the pride march set off in the city center, shortly after 3 p.m. and ended around 4:15 p.m., this Saturday, June 29, 2024. Around 500 participants, according to a police source, responded to Gom’53’s call to send a message: “Living together, let’s be proud of who we are.” Based in Laval, the association supports people on issues of sexual orientation and trans identities.
