Video of event by Amnesty
Particularly moving to see the bravery of those marching in the midst of a wall of hate (including obligatory placards with Bible verses - do they know ugly their religion is?).
From Pink News (2/6/2008):
A march for gay rights has passed off peacefully in the Latvian capital Riga.
Police arrested four of an estimated 400 anti-gay protesters, but the threats of violence against the Pride march did not materialise.
British and Swedish human rights advocates and politicians were among the 300 people who took part in the event on Saturday. City authorities closed off streets and deployed police to keep the groups apart.
