We were happy and surprised to hear that this year's Pride celebration in São Paulo, Brazil was possibly the largest gay event in the world, with over 2.5 million people in attendance. Looking at these photos we believe it.

But we also think that it could possibly be the highest concentration of sexy shirtless gay men as well. We have amassed some photo evidence courtesy of our friends at Made In Brazil, which you can see after the jump.

Next year we may have to take a trip South, heat be damned, even if we risk being crushed by thousands of tanned pectorals.
