Hundreds of thousands of people dancing and wearing costumes packed the streets of South America’s biggest city to celebrate gay pride and call for an end to homophobia. Gays, lesbians and their supporters in Sao Paulo, Brazil, participated in the city’s 15th annual gay pride parade on skyscraper-lined Avenida Paulista. Many danced to the beat of loud music blasting from several sound trucks.
Organizers hoped the final count would total more than 3 million join in the parade, which they say is one of the biggest in the world.
Police reported a few arrests for drug possession but say no major incidents occurred.
