Pride Parade in Toronto: The Biggest in North America!
Pride Parade culminates the Pride Week in Toronto. It is the BIGGEST in North America (California, don't argue, please!). With 1.3 million people watching the parade this year, what's bigger than that? The parade is a celebration of the city's diversity, tolerance and acceptance of the GLBT community. This year, despite the controversy regarding the Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, the parade was still declared a success! Pride Toronto is 30 years old and it's going stronger--and it becomes political, too.
The Pride Parade is well-participated by the GLBT community and its allies. Parade floats are gigantic and occupied with the hottest bodies and beauties to the delight of all. It's a colorful, fabulous, creative, inventive and the happiest festival of all in summer! Both the audience and parade participants are having fun while getting busy clicking their cameras.
