Brazilian revelers at Rio’s Pride march rejoice after Bolsonaro’s preemptive jailing

Thousands of revelers descended on the boardwalk in Copacabana for Rio de Janeiro’s annual Pride parade on Sunday, with many celebrating the previous day's preemptive jailing of Brazilian former President Jair Bolsonaro who is notorious for homophobic remarks. “It’s very gratifying,” said Emy Mateus Santos, a 25-year-old arts, theater and dance professor who was wearing a T-shirt with the colors of the Brazilian flag, a symbol that has frequently been used by Bolsonaro supporters. In September, Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison in September for attempting a coup to remain in the presidency after his 2022 electoral defeat.
