In celebration of Pride Week, more than five thousand LGBTQ+ activists converged on Mexico City's Zócalo to form the world's largest human LGBT flag. Under a shower of rain and brandishing vibrant umbrellas, the colorful formation draped the historic Plaza de la Constitución, capturing global attention and shattering previous records.
Organized by the government of Mexico City, the event, the largest of its kind in Mexican history, lasted two hours, starting at 10:30 am, on June 22, with participants moving in unison to the rhythm of the song 'A quién le importa' by Alaska y Dinarama. The event was recorded via drone, and the images and videos went viral on social media, with many expressing their surprise at the event not being canceled due to the weather. In a powerful display of resilience and resourcefulness, the activists dealt with unexpected rain by bringing umbrellas corresponding to their color in the giant flag to do the performance.
The visual performance was part of the city's Pride Month programming and served as a prelude to the annual Mexico City Pride March, which will take place on Saturday, June 28.------------------------------------
