Gays march through Europe demanding right to marry

[Bluebear]

PARIS (AFP) - Demanding "Marriage, Adoption, and Equality," hundreds of thousands of gays marched through European capitals, in festive "Gay Pride" parades focused this year on same-sex marriages.

While Athens held its first parade in modern times with just a few hundreds marching through the Greek capital, Paris seemed to have the highest turnout with organizers estimating some 700,000 taking to the streets to watch or march and police about 300,000.

"During the (French) revolution, the oppressed people fought to abolish privileges," said Estelle Haury, wearing a pink version of the cap of liberty worn by the "sans-culottes" who overthrew the monarchy in 1789....

"This has got to change, we can't live like in the 1950s," said a 44-year-old photographer, Evangelia Vlami, of the Homosexual Community of Greece (Olke).
