Tens of thousands of people took part in the big annual pride march in Paris on Saturday (June 29), with LGBT rights groups saying they fear discrimination if a far-right government takes power following the country's election. "The National Rally and its far-right allies are fundamentally hateful, particularly towards LGBTQIA+ minorities," Drag queen Simone de Boulevard told Reuters at the event. Another participant, Cian Grourke, said the National Front will ruin France if they are in charge.
