Activists of the LGBT community hold rainbow flags and placards reading "I am out therefore I am", as they demonstrate through the main square in Pristina on May 17, 2016, as part of a first Gay Pride parade to seek acceptance and respect of their rights in a conservative society.
The participants marched under heavy police presence through downtown Pristina waving the rainbow flags to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.  / AFP / -        (Photo credit should read -/AFP/Getty Images)
