The 2022 Pride Parade festival starts today.
The week-long festival will wrap up with Ljubljana Pride next Saturday.
The head of the Pride Parade Association noted that that the legal rights and status of LGBT+ people were still not regulated in many areas.
One of the festival's highlights will be tomorrow's Koroška Pride, the third pride parade to be held in Slovenj Gradec in the northern Koroška region.
Another highlight will be next Friday's spoken word performance by British poet Joelle Taylor, the latest recipient of the prestigious T.S. Eliot prize.
