Paris Olympics organizers have inaugurated the Pride House on a barge in the Seine River
The Pride House of the Paris Olympics was inaugurated on a barge in the Seine River by Games organizers on Friday. The boat, moored between the Grand Palais and the Place de la Concorde in the city center, is meant to be a safe space for LGBTQ athletes and visitors during the Olympics and Paralympics. “France will guarantee that everyone feels like they belong in the celebration,” French Equality Minister Aurore Bergé said at the inauguration.
“There will probably be athletes that will come to the Paris Olympics who have never been to a country where they have been fully accepted. It will be a breath of fresh air for them once they realize that they can be themselves here,” said Amazin LeThi, a Vietnamese LGBTQ athlete and Pride House ambassador. The International Olympic Committee in 2021 relaxed rules that previously restricted expressions of belief or identity.
