Hundreds march to mark 35 years of Pride Johannesburg in South Africa

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Hundreds of people marched in South Africa to mark 35 years of Pride Johannesburg, an annual event that has been critical in advocating equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. The march in the Sandton district of Johannesburg on Saturday was a colorful spectacle but also an opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community to highlight critical issues such as the discrimination most members of the community still face despite South Africa’s progressive stance on equality issues.
