This year was the 25th anniversary of first gay pride parade in Spain (Barcelona, 1977). The manifestation joined about 5000 people, started at 19:00 in the Plaça Universitat, went down the Ramblas and finished in the Plaça de Sant Jaume. The Barcelona Manifestation of this year was over political issues, not having participation of the bares/discos/restaurants that in other years had increased the size and festive caracter of manifestation/parade. Coordenadora Gay-Lésbica, an organization that groups six GLBT associations of Catalonia, did not participate for disagreeing with some with the aspects of the manifesto that was read in the end of the manifestation, in the Plaça de Sant Jaume, where its located the City Council of Barcelona and the seat of Autnomic Goverment of Catalonia.
