A gay pride parade was held in Valletta this morning, the highlight of a week of activities, called DiverCITY Week, held by the Malta Gay Rights Movement.

This morning's event was attended by a crowd of some 150 and representatives of the two political parties, trade unions and some NGOs involved in the social sector.

Some of those present carried placards which read: Separate Church and State, Show who you are and We are Everywhere.

DiverCITY Week has included a film festival. There will be a concert this evening in which The Pink Singers (London) and Zghazagh Haddiema Nsara will take part.
