A video shared by Facebook begins with Vietnam’s Pride in January, and goes on to mark a number of LGBT issues such as the US Supreme Court ruling in favour of same-sex marriage, and Ireland’s referendum on the same issue.
Caitlyn Jenner’s coming out as trans and campaigning on transgender issues is also featured, alongside hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter, and footage of protests and demonstrations.
Tragedies such as Charlie Hebdo and the November shootings at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris are also marked, and the video ends with the message “Lets stand together in 2016.”
