- It is incredibly important to stand behind and manifest the equal value of all people, says regional councilor Mia Frisk (KD) who went to Eksjö.

Behind the arrangement are the Studieförbundet NBV and Eksjö municipality.

The parade went from the town hall, via the station and ended at Stora torget.

"Love is free"

Jonas Janzon was one of those who joined the train.

- It is very important, because everyone should be able to love who they want.

Love is free, he says.

Chairman of Qom Ut, Jesper Persson, was also present in Eksjö.

Despite the disappointment that the parade in Jönköping had to be cancelled, he was happy to go in the parade.

- It is so important that everyone feels safe to be themselves.
