Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 2)
Young and Old, With Smiles and Pride

Part 2 of my Roze Maandag series brings you into the heart of the Pride Walk — a moving celebration of love, visibility, and community that began at Tilburg Central Station.

Though the official start was at 14:00, the first participants arrived hours earlier, ready to make their presence known. As the parade began to move through the city, so did I — sprinting ahead again and again to capture fresh angles (seven times in total, with 12.5 kg on my back and two cameras strapped to my front… safe to say, I felt it in my legs later).

In this set, you’ll find a wide-angle shot showing the sheer scale of the event — a long, beautiful river of rainbow flags and waving hands. One photo captures three generations of women — young, middle-aged, and elderly — each radiating pride in her own way. Along the route, bystanders paused, smiled, clapped, or stood in amazed silence. Even those not walking became part of the moment.

Pride is not just for the young or for one group — it's for everyone who believes in dignity, visibility, and love without conditions. That message walked right through the streets of Tilburg yesterday.

Pride Walk – Roze Maandag, Tilburg Kermis (Part 1)

Yesterday, I attended the Pride Walk during Roze Maandag at the Tilburgse Kermis — a celebration of love, freedom, and being unapologetically yourself. Roze Maandag is more than just a day of pink and glitter. It’s a statement: you are welcome here, whoever you are.

This is part one of a five-part series covering the event. Today’s photos, taken with my Canon 5D Mark III and Sigma 100–400mm lens, offer a gentle start — portraits of energy, color, and connection. You’ll see a lot of pink, yes — it’s tradition after all — but also strength, joy, and humanity in motion.

Events like these are important. They give visibility to the LGBTQ+ community and celebrate the right to exist freely in public space — something still not guaranteed everywhere. Photography can help document that presence. A camera becomes both witness and amplifier.

More is coming — each post a bit louder, bolder, and more full of sparkle. For now, I hope you enjoy this first look through my lens.

Heute #prideevent in der Firma. Viele Fragen danach, welche Vorteile für das Unternehmen man als Argumente listen könne gegenüber ablehnenden Managern. Fachkräftemangel. Kreativität und Produktivität durch Diversität. Und ich denke mir: Der einzige Grund, warum man alle Menschen im Unternehmen gleich behandeln und entsprechend bezahlen sollte ist: Sei kein Arschloch!

#Hungary passes constitutional amendment to ban #LGBTQ+ public events, seen as a major blow to rights

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — "Hungary’s parliament on Monday passed an amendment to the constitution that allows the government to ban public events by LGBTQ+ communities, a decision that legal scholars and critics call another step toward #authoritarianism by the populist government.

"The amendment, which required a two-thirds vote, passed along party lines with 140 votes for and 21 against. It was proposed by the ruling Fidesz-KDNP coalition led by populist Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán.

"Ahead of the vote — the final step for the amendment — opposition politicians and other #protesters attempted to #blockade the entrance to a parliament parking garage. #Police physically removed demonstrators, who had used zip ties to bind themselves together.

"The amendment declares that children’s rights to moral, physical and spiritual development supersede any right other than the right to life, including that to peacefully assemble. Hungary’s contentious 'child protection' legislation prohibits the 'depiction or promotion' of #homosexuality to minors aged under 18.

"The amendment codifies a law fast-tracked through parliament in March that bans public events held by LGBTQ+ communities, including the popular #PrideEvent in #Budapest that draws thousands annually."
