I love this city’s unbridled embrace of #pride every year. It makes it easy to forget there are still pockets in this country that have some catching up to do. DC is special for a lot of reasons, but this month always ranks high on my list. 🌈

At the French Embassy in the US and at the Ambassador`s Residence, we honor #DiplomacyUnited4Pride 🏳️🌈 in Washington, D.C.!
This weekend, we showed off our spinners for the #PrideMobile 🏳️🌈 Parade with capitalpridedc. Today, we show off our decorations digitally for a #ColorfulDMV collaboration with our fellow foreign representations. This mobilization asks embassies to physically show their support to the #LGBTQIA+ community to promote inclusivity, visibility and the essential principle of equality. We are grateful to be part of this active network that fights for human rights around the 🌎.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ As DC celebrates #pride this weekend, our contribution to capitalpridedc #ColorfulDMV is this projection on the facade of House of Sweden at the #Georgetown Waterfront. We’re excited to join our local community to promote joy, inclusion and pride. Sweden believes everyone has the same rights and opportunities regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights! Happy Pride! 🌈
