STORYLINE:
Thousands of revellers gathered along Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s annual pride parade on Sunday, many scantily dressed and covered in glitter.

Rainbow-colored flags, towels and fans abounded among the crowd mostly made up of young people, who danced and sang along to music blaring from speakers.

While the atmosphere was festive, some spoke of the threat of violence LGBTQ+ people face in Brazil.

At least 230 LGBTQ+ Brazilians were victims of violent deaths in 2023, according to the umbrella watchdog group Observatory of LGBTI+ deaths and violence in Brazil.

And more trans people — 100 — were murdered in Brazil last year than in any other country, according to Transgender Europe, a network of global non-profits that tracks the data.

One of the themes of this year’s pride march was sustainability.

“Environmental justice will only be possible with racial and social justice, gender equality and sexual diversity” read one banner attached to a truck.
