  • Story Text: The LGBTQ+ community filled the iconic Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach promenade with a giant rainbow flag on Sunday (November 27) to mark the Pride Parade’s comeback after two years of Covid hiatus.
    After two years of holding virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrators waved LGBTQ+ flags and danced to the rhythm of the music on the beach in a pride parade named “Courage to be happy.”
    Alison Paes, wearing a 'Hi Haters' t-shirt, attended the parade and said he hoped the LGBTQ+ community will be able to dialogue with the coming government led by President-elect, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
    "We have gone through years of regression and difficulties, with President’s (Jair Bolsonaro) aggressive and discriminatory discourse against the (LGBTQ) community," he explained.
