Paris
Giant flag at the Eiffel Tower. Organisers advised, “In Paris, we will make a great Rainbow Flag on May 12 the court of human rights. Participants each held one end of a strip of fabric 6, one for each color of the flag. While six participants remain at the starting point, the side of the Place du Trocadero, others walk towards the Eiffel Tower, down in each band, which form the flag. The idea is to have the Eiffel Tower in the background, so that participation in the global video is very characteristic. The operation is feasible to 12 participants, but it would be more effective if people would join the operation as and, apparently spontaneously, giving the “Flahsmob” side.

The French umbrella organisation Inter-LGBT is also organising a massive free concert in central Paris, on the place de la Bastille, where citizens traditionally celebrate all victories, on May 17th to mark the need to re-engage massively in the fight against homophobia. The recent debates on same-sex marriage have been used by conservative factions to whip up a moral panic and instigate hatred and fear, which has resulted in a wave of attacks on people and vandalism of LGBT establishments.
