Brazil breaks world record for largest straight pride parade, all twelve participants honored
Members of an anti-gay group in Sao Paulo, Brazil came together on Saturday afternoon to hold a straight pride parade. The twelve participants broke the Guinness World Record for the largest straight pride parade and were honored by city representatives.
The parade, which took place on Paulista Avenue, reached a final tally of twelve attendees. The participants walked down the avenue holding signs with phrases like “NO STR8 H8!” “STRAIGHT IS GREAT!”.
A Guinness representative who was at the event later presented the twelve with a certificate honoring their achievement. City representatives congratulated the attendees.
“We made history today,” said Maiara Goncalves, the event organizer, “I’m so glad that the straight community could come together today and show the gays that we are proud of who we are. It’s time that we stand up against discrimination.”
Equalitopia reached out to Guinness, but they declined to comment.
