TALLINN, July 30 (RIA Novosti) - Estonian police said Monday they have authorized a gay parade in the center of Tallinn August 11 following initial opposition to the event based on security concerns.

This year the issue was resolved when organizers agreed to hire security guards to ensure the marchers' safety in line with police recommendations.
