Marcha do Orgulho LGBTI+ do Porto

The twenty-first Marcha do Orgulho LGBTI+ do Porto set off on Saturday 27 June 2026 in mid-afternoon from Praça da República and went through the centre to Largo Amor de Perdição, with more than three hundred people according to Lusa. The slogan, "Por Gisberta, por um Abril que ainda não aconteceu" (for Gisberta, for an April that hasn't come yet), tied the twenty years since the first march to the memory of Gisberta Salce Júnior, murdered in the city in 2006, and to the organising committee's warning about the rollback of trans people's rights. There was a sexual health testing stand, queer performers and music at the end. The edition was preceded by a row: in April the committee announced, with four days' notice, that it was moving the march to 25 April, Freedom Day, with a poster dedicated to Gisberta —"they told us April brought freedom, but they didn't say for whom"—. Several groups distanced themselves for fear of diluting the message and splitting people, and on 23 April the committee backtracked: on that day it joined the official celebrations and the march went back to its late-June date. The year before, 2025, the twentieth march had set off from Avenida dos Aliados and gathered thousands of people, also according to Lusa.
