The eastern city of Malatya hosted participants from the surrounding cities such as Adiyaman, Antep, Bingol and Elazig as well as far from Istanbul. Although the police did not let the parade take place in the planned route, those who watch the parade from their balconies showed their support by their zilgit (tongue lashing) and those driving by honking.  
 
The rainbow family group “Families of LGBTs in Istanbul (LISTAG)” who came to Malatya for the screening of the documentary “My Child” which tells the stories of families that have LGBT kids also joined the parade.
