"We are against the commercialization of gay pride by 商売／仕事 people. It's an attack on the neighbors of this ４半期/4分の1 and on the city," Esteban Benito, 大統領，／社長 of the 地元の 居住（者）s' group, which has 公然と非難するd the dirt, noise and large （人が）群がるs gathered outside 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s that …を伴って the 年次の festival.
Lesbians, gays, transgender people and bisexuals grouped in the 批判的な Pride 集団の／共同の are …に反対するing this year's event, too. The 集団の／共同の has called for an 代案／選択肢 LGBT parade to 最高潮の場面 how WorldPride is "a direct 脅し through a stereotyped 見通し of our 身元s."

The parade through the 中心 of Madrid will make calls to 延長する LGBT 権利s across the world, with particular 強調 on Chechnya and the 残り／休憩（する） of Russia. It will also 需要・要求する that the World Health Organization stop categorizing transgender 身元 as a mental illness.

The 審議 over the essence of pride comes four １０年間s after the 1977 demonstration by transgender people in Barcelona that is regarded as the birth of Spain's modern LGBT 権利s movement に引き続いて the repressive 遺産／遺物 of late 独裁者 Francisco フランス系カナダ人.
Spain stepped ahead of many other countries and 合法化するd same-sex marriages and 採択s in 2005. More than 40,000 such weddings have already taken place since then, によれば 公式の／役人 統計（学）. And 議会 is planning a new 法律 to 確実にする that all 政府 levels 除去する 障壁s for LGBT equality.
