Thousands join Mexico City's Gay Pride parade

(3 Jun 2012) Thousands of people took part in Mexico City's annual Gay Pride parade on Saturday. The carnival-style festival took place along Paseo de la Reforma in the Zona Rosa - or Pink Zone - making its way down to the historic city centre. People in fancy dress and colourful floats with dancers moving to techno rhythms took part in the parade. As in previous years, participants demanded greater rights for the gay community in Mexico, as well as an end to discrimination. "We need a lot of education so that everyone understands that we are different and we are proud to be gay," parade participant Manuel Chacon said. Mexico City is the only place in Mexico where same-sex marriage is legal and there are parts of the city with a thriving gay community. As a whole, however, Mexico remains a largely conservative country with little tolerance for homosexuality.
