Yesterday our Marie took part in the Copenhagen Pride procession, in her capacity as patron for the Aids Foundation.

It's the first time a member of the DRF take part in such a procession.

Fantastic!
And again an event that was not on the drf calendar

[Muhler]

Yes, but TV2 reports that no one knew our Marie would take part. - Partly because she walked as a member of one of the organizations that work with the LGBT community (in this case the Aids Foundation) but also for security reasons.
And it was also for security reasons that it wasn't announced beforehand that the PM also took part in the procession.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #34, 2016.
Written by Marianne Singer.

As you know our Marie took part in the Copenhagen Pride procession last weekend. That was both unannounced, for security reasons and also the first time a member of DRF took part in such a procession.
Even though that Marie technically walked for the AIDS Foundation, which is one of the organizations that works with the LGBT community.

Marie said: "I'd like to show my support. I'd like to help fight discrimination and stigmatization and show that we are a free and tolerant country. And that's why I'm here today as patron for the AIDS Foundation".

Marie's presence was indeed appreciated and quite a number of selfies were made with her.

As you know several of J&M and M&F's personal friends are homosexual.

Under way Marie met PH's nephew, Charles Henri Keller, who lives in DK and who also took part in the procession.

Afterwards she said: "It's been very exciting. It's just like a public party and everybody are happy. I think we need to be together - especially today".

It is fantastic to see another royal out showing support for LGBT community And AIDS. I don't like it wasn't on the royal calendar, gives a wrong impression (right or wrong) of court's view of it. I hope we see Marie and more members at such events. I know Mary has spoken in support as well, and her and Fred have friends

agree, the DRF royal calendar is not the best at including and updating everything. its gotten better but still needs improvement.
If it was for security reasons, they can include an update after the event. The same happens for Mary and Frederik's meetings and some events.
An example would be this Monday there are official audiences, they still have a picture of the Queen on this event, even though Frederik is regent currently from August 22 to September 3rd, so it will be him only that attends

thank you Muhler for the various summaries

Marie turns on lights as a protector of the AIDS Fund memorabilia on the occasion of World AIDS Day.

The tradition of turning on light on World AIDS Day on December 1 was started in 1994 by the Positive Group, which provides support for HIV-infected men. World AIDS Day first took place in Denmark in 1988.

Thanks, Iceflower & Polyesco.

A worthy cause and it's nice she brings he children with her. Also because they can get used to being in the limelight.
But perhaps it was a little past mademoiselle Athena's bedtime, as is evident from her yawn.

A BB video of our Marie, who on Thursday evening attended a yearly event where those who have died from AIDS are remembered with a candle.
She explained that she try to attend the event every year.
And this year she brought her two children, who were cold, but they understand when she explains it to them, Marie said.
