Varese Pride is a
EPOA
.
2016
The first Pride Parade received the patronage of Province of Varese, US General Consulate in Milan and University of Insubria, but not by the Municipality of Varese (Comune di Varese) that refused the patronage because "In the city, people have diverse opinions and sensitivity".[2] This has caused protests by the local LGBTI Organization Arcigay Varese.
The slogan of the first edition was, "(R)Esistiamo" in Italian, a fusion of the two words Resist and exist.
Over 3,000 participants took part in the first event.[3]
