Gay rights activists march on Parliament

Protesters gathered at Piccadilly Circus to make noise for freedom, marking the 25th anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act. They argue the law is discriminatory, affecting millions of LGBTQ individuals in Britain. The march aimed to highlight the need for legal reforms and equal rights, with support from celebrities like Derek Jarman and Jimmy Somerville. About 400 demonstrators marched to Downing Street to present a letter to the Prime Minister, urging the repeal of anti-gay legislation. Despite minor scuffles, the protest remained peaceful with no arrests reported.
