STORYLINE:
Sunny Copacabana Beach was covered with rainbows on Sunday, as it hosted Rio de Janeiro's twelfth annual GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) Pride Parade.
Tens of thousands gathered on the neighbourhood's black and white sidewalks, as twelve floats paraded down Atlantica Avenue.
The parade was inaugurated by Rio de Janeiro Governor Sergio Cabral, who attended the event for the first time.
Several senators, who are supporting a bill that would make homophobia a crime, were also present on the inaugural float.
"We are here at this parade to demand the senate's attention and to ask them to approve the law to criminalise homophobia immediately," parade organiser Claudio Nascimento said.
Nascimento, who is the coordinator of the non-governmental group Arco-Iris, said the parade was speaking out against prejudice and violence in Rio de Janeiro.
According to Arco-Iris, two-thousand five hundred and eighty two homosexuals have been murdered in Rio de Janeiro since 1997.
Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Association President Toni Reis came to the parade in full tuxedo with his British partner of 17 years David Harrad.
The two made their relationship official with a civil union ceremony in Curitiba, in Southern Brazil, in 2004, allowing Harrad to gain Brazilian citizenship.
"We already have the outfits, now we just need them to legalise the marriage," said Reis.
Same-sex couples in Brazil are engaged in an ongoing campaign to be given the same legal status as heterosexual married couples.
