Organized by LGBTI groups, the protest was called under the banner “Love Without Temer” — in reference to conservative Brazilian President Michel Temer.
Musicians also performed in support of the protest.
Last week, a Brazilian federal court judge Waldemar de Carvalho which overturned the ban on the "therapy" which had been in place for almost 20 years.
De Carvalho's decision reversed a 1999 Federal Council of Psychology, ruling prohibiting licensed psychologists from attempting to “convert” people who identify as LGBTI.
Brazil’s Federal Council of Psychology has described the decision as a threat to human rights.
