"More than two million gay men and women joined yesterday in the streets of Sao Paolo - Brazil, in what was the largest gay pride parade in the world. The country also ranks first in violence against gays. Yesterday was a call for respect and tolerance, as Brazil's gay community found its voice in greater numbers than ever before. Organizer Pedro Almeida, told AFP news agency: 'A homosexual is murdered here every two days - just for being homosexual.' The 9th annual gay pride also included more than 700,000 foreign tourists."

nice pic bradley! :)

I love the first one from my list, with the huge rainbow cloth.

it's good to be reminded too that however homophobic it is in america, in many other countries it's worse. :(
