In the 1st and 2nd June, Brasil witnessed two unprecedented manifestations in its history: 12'000 people filled up the gigantic Hopi-Hari theme park in the suburbs of São Paulo, in an entretaining and socializing event, in the following day, the gay and lesbian pride march got more than 700'000 filling completly the imense Av. Paulista, in the heart of São Paulo, in one of the biggest pride parades that ever took place in the planet.

This is a record of those events that was ordered by the brasilian gay maganize Homens, that gave us the rights for the not edited pictures. All the pics where taken with the consent of the represented persons, so most of them are posed, however, even so the comotion and fun that everyone had in being out without fear of being beaten or repressed, was so much, that gives a special touch to the pictures.
