Jews, gays rally in Rio to protest Ahmadinejad visit
Hundreds of Jews, gays and rights activists jointly marched along Rio's famed Ipanema beach Sunday to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's attendance at the UN summit on sustainable development.
"We want the world to know that religious hatred harms the environment and Ahmadinejad represents hatred. Sustainable development encompasses human rights," said Ivanir dos Santos, of the commission against religious intolerance.
