A new online exhibition of photos of LGBT celebrations from cities around the world aims to celebrate people's pride in their sexuality and identity. The Human Rights Watch online photo essay captures the courage, the exuberance, and the human faces of LGBT people's Pride marches on five continents, over more than a decade. The first photo documents the first-ever march to take place to celebrate LGBT people in the heart of Manila, Philippines in 1996. People are shown marching through the streets with posters displaying their messages of 'Can't Live in the Closet' and 'Lesbian Rights Now'. The human faces of LGBT Pride marches on five continents are documented over more than a decade of spreading the message that human rights are for everyone. Highlights include a picture from 1998 in Harare, Zimbabwe, where marchers join the crowds for their first time carrying the colours of the country with 'out and proud in Zimbabwe' written across the flag, showing their commitment to human rights. Another photo depicts an equality march held in 2001 in Windhoek, Namibia, to defend human rights in the face of President Sam Nujoma's verbal attacks on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. A striking image of a gay activist beaten by an anti-gay nationalist mob during the first attempt to hold Gay Pride in Belgrade, Serbia in 2001 is one of the more moving images in the online exhibition.
