MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of gay rights supporters marched through Mexico City on Saturday with both hope and some nagging doubts about the prospect of a presidential election victory by leftist front-runner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador next weekend.

Revellers sporting gaudy outfits and everyday garb waved rainbow flags and the Mexican national colours on the capital's Paseo de la Reforma boulevard just as Mexico's soccer team was defeating South Korea 2-1 in the World Cup in Russia.
