Rio Pride is one of the biggest and most festive pride celebrations of the year. It comes later than most, but you know what they say about saving the best for last and it looks like this year, the 23rd annual event, was as fabulous and energized as ever.
Thousands paraded down, and gathered along, Copacabana beach yesterday to celebrate the community and call for progress, with the first round of Brazil's presidential elections just one week away. Check out some of the best photos and videos from this year's Rio Pride.
