Thousands of revelers descended on the boardwalk in Copacabana for Rio de Janeiro’s annual Pride parade on Sunday, with many celebrating the previous day's preemptive jailing of Brazilian former President Jair Bolsonaro who is notorious for homophobic remarks.
Demonstrators addressing crowds from trucks shouted: “He’s in prison!” and “Out with Bolsonaro!” to raucous cheers from rainbow-clad members of the LGBTQ+ community, who were a frequent target of the embattled far-right politician throughout his career.
