The yearly gay pride parade in Madrid was bigger than ever this year, with a reported 1.5 million people at the event.

Gran Via and the surrounding streets were closed off and at 18:00 the festivities officially started. 5 hours later, when we arrived the streets were still lined with people and the party atmosphere showed no signs of slowing down.

Jerusalem's Open House for Pride and Tolerance organised the city's controversial Gay Pride parade. This year's march marked the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City - an event which signaled the beginning of the global LGBT movement. In previous years, the parade faced violent protests and a bloody knife attack in 2005. This year was much quieter, with protesters claiming they preferred not to give the march more publicity by holding high-profile demonstrations.
