The participants of the Gay Pride March arrived at the Zócalo, after three hours of walk from the monument known as the Ángel de la Independencia (Angel of the Independence).

The group demanded equality and respect for their rights as citizens and are grateful that the Supreme Court of Justice just expressed that same-sex marriage is legal according to the Constitution.

According to data from the Department of Government of Mexico City, some 16,000 revelers participated in the march, including people on board floats and representatives of social organizations.
