THE 2022 Lbian Gay Bisexual Transgenr Queer (LGBTQ) pri ftival Guyana is expected to kick off next month wh a packed lendar of events, followg a two-year hiat. But to the approximately 300 revellers, the day would end a rabow of joyo mararie that would evably change the way the rt of the untry looked at persons of the Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) muny.

Guyana is the only untry South Ameri to crimalise homosexualy, unr Colonial-era laws, and LGBT people still often face discrimatn.
Marchers lled for legal reform to crimalise homosexualy, relax rtrictns on transgenr people, and perm same-sex upl to ga legal regnn.
Dozens of members of the lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr (LGBT) muny and their supporters yterday took to the streets of Geetown for the 2022 pri para.
