(Reuters) - Demonstrators hold placards during a protest at St Peter's Square in the Vatican January 13, 2006. A group of some 40 gay rights activists demonstrated outside St Peter's Square a day after Pope Benedict condemned gay marriages and civil unions for unwed couples. The demonstration also coincided with the eighth anniversary of the day an Italian homosexual named Alfredo Ormando killed himself by setting his body on fire at the square in protest against the Church's position. The board at left reads 'Let state laws be free from religious taboo'; the one at right reads 'Let love be free from religious phobia'. REUTERS/Luca Lo Iacono
