Clad in colorful costumes — or nothing at all — more than 80,000 people participated in Mexico City’s gay pride march, officials said.

Amid the procession of people dressed as butterflies, clowns and Indian warriors, were a dozen floats, including one featuring topless transsexuals dancing.

“This is our way to speak out against the social discrimination we face from our government and our society,” said Alberto Avila, a 40-year-old bisexual waiter who marched alongside his five-year-old niece.

“I’ve wanted, since I was little, to teach people how to live with diversity,” said the man dressed in a purple miniskirt, blond wig, and red heels.

1. Now thats what I'm talking about!

Mexico City is such a beautiful place while at the same time such a sad place.

2. Mexico is actually slightly more gay-accepting than the U.S., according to that recent survey.

It was only a difference of a percent or two, though, like 61% to 60%.
