City showing support for diversity

A road in Reykjavic, Iceland has been painted rainbow colours to celebrate gay pride in the city. The mayor of the city helped to paint the road and was joined by residents of the city. A large number of children came to help and brought their own paintbrushes. The mayor, Dagur Eggertsson said, "This is one was to make our city livelier, more human and simply a better place by great collaboration and beautiful thinking"
