VOICED : Marcha del Orgullo Gay de Rio arenga a resistir ola conservadora

The Gay Pride March in Rio de Janeiro saw hundreds of thousands of participants despite facing a lack of support from the city's mayor, Marcelo Crivella, known for his conservative and fundamentalist views. The march, which has been a cultural staple for 22 years, had to rely on private sponsors due to the withdrawal of municipal subsidies. Artists like Danila Mercury and Pablo Vittar contributed by waiving their fees to support the event. The march highlighted the ongoing cultural and political challenges faced by the LGBT community in Rio.
