 Two men kiss during the 12th annual Gay Parade at the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last month. An estimated 800,000 to 1.2 million people attended the parade, the longest running event of its kind in Brazil. Rio’s governor, Sérgio Cabral, made history by opening the parade – the first time in the country’s history that a governor attended a gay pride event. The main goal of participants at this year’s parade was to urge political support of the bill 122/2006, which classifies homophobia as a hate crime at federal level.
