Cuba gay pride calls for same-sex marriage to become legal
More than 1,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Cubans have marched through the streets of Havana to protest against discrimination.
The event was organised by President Raul Castro's daughter, Mariela Castro.
Although same-sex marriage remains illegal, dozens of couples took part in symbolic gay weddings presided over by religious leaders from Cuba and the US.
Two years ago, Cuban law banned workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The wedding ceremonies at the Eighth Annual March against Homophobia and Transphobia were a form of protest at the fact that gay marriage and same sex unions are still illegal in Cuba.
