Posted June 2009
People around the world are rising up and demanding dignity and equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. And despite a backlash, the LGBT movement marches forward, refusing to go back in the closet.

True colors: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their allies are taking to the streets around the world. In the past month, gay pride parades have brightened streets with rainbow flags in countries across four continents. Above, two Israeli lesbians kiss in front of a rainbow-striped backdrop during the annual gay pride parade in Tel Aviv on June 12.
