The Day in Paraguay was commmemorated with a Kiss-in outside of the Paraguayan Congress, with pictures of the event shared internationally on social media. Accompanied by music and rainbow flags, the event was widely covered in the national media. “Day to day life is where the discrimination that still characterizes Paraguayan society is felt, in families, schools and the workplace,” affirmed Sergio Lopez, leader of organising group SOMOSGay.
