21-07-2018 |
On Monday, 23rd of July, the Monday of roses will be celebrated at the Tilburg fair. The annual event attracts several hundred thousand interested people from the Netherlands but also from abroad. Pink Monday is now a concept across Europe and the gay event is also expecting LGBT from all over the EU. According to tradition, Pink Monday begins with the Pink Caravan, renamed this year "Pride Walk". Pink visitors come from all over the country to Tilburg Central Station. From there, the pink procession goes through the city center to Piusplein. Here are some planned performances, including Berget Lewis, and the official launch of the 28th edition of Pink Monday

The organization will distribute three thousand copies of the unique edition of the 'Gay Formatorisch Dagblad & # 39; on Roze Maandag (photo). ). A special newspaper edition in which differences are celebrated and faith and orientation go hand in hand. The idea of ​​the Gay Formatorisch Dagblad was born after a publication of the Reformatorisch Dagblad. Earlier this year, there was a brochure from the "Family in Danger" action group protesting against the "modest" posters of SuitSupply. There were two men kissing each other. "The foundation says that traditional families are the only type of family and that gays are a danger, and we do not agree," says Rona van der Heijden at Omroep Brabant. She is President of Roze Maandag and wants to start a dialogue with the publication. For the publication, a contact was also made with the namesake, the Reformatorisch Dagblad. In fact, the newspaper was allowed to submit an article that was also published. "We talked to people about copywriting, who took it very seriously, it's not an article that says they hate homosexuals, but they explain their point of view," explains Van der Heijden.
