PHOTOS: Let's Go to Rio (Pride)

Revelers gather during Rio de Janeiro's 18th Gay Pride Parade along Copacabana Beach Sunday. Brazil has an estimated 60,000 same-sex couples. In May it became the third country in Latin America to effectively approve same-sex marriage, via a court ruling, but a final law has yet to be passed.

Pride is more passionate for some than for others.
