The 'ghost float' represented 'those lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender and inter-sex people who lost their lives in Orlando and who can't be marching with us', organisers said. Leading the march was a black-clad group called 'Victims of Hate Crimes - Marching for those who can't', holding a rope around a space where normally a float full of dancers would be. Tens of thousands of Europeans paid tribute in Gay Pride marches on Saturday to the 49 people massacred in a gay nightclub in Orlando last weekend in a defiantly festive atmosphere.Īt the largest, Vienna's 'Rainbow Parade' involving around 130,000 people according to organisers, a minute's silence was held during the 20th annual anything-goes parade.
