Lady Gaga in Rome for Gay Rights March

Thousands gathered in Rome today for a Gay Pride parade to challenge Silvio Berlusconi’s “backward” government over same-sex rights, with Lady Gaga as the star guest.

Slogans read “Different People, Same Rights” and “Equality and Human Rights for All!” as the parade got under way.

Organisers of the EuroPride event said 400.000 people participated in the parade. Police said there were between 300.000 y 500.000 people before the event.
