Hundreds of thousands of LGBTA Brazilians took to the streets Oct. 10 to celebrate Pride, while simultaneously calling on authorities to enact legislation to outlaw homophobia. Marching along the Copacabana beach promenade, people cheered the success of the year’s legislative campaign to allow same-sex marriages in Latin America. According to the AFP, the revelers also voiced support for laws that would ban homophobia in the wake of a spate of violent attacks targeting the gay community.
