Gay Pride in Johannesburg32

Portraits during a Gay Parade in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During the Apartheids regime between 1948 to 1994, homosexuality in South Africa was a crime punishable by up to seven years in prison; this law was used to harass and outlaw South African gay community events and political activists.
Its the remarkable that after these strict laws South Africa became the first nation in the world to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation in its constitution.
