WOOHOO!
This past weekend I went to Toronto Pride 2007 with Andrea and Pascal (two very good buddies!).
We had a blast!
We caught the last end of the Pride Parade...same stuff as last year, half naked people, rainbows galore, and beads, glorious beads!
We then hopped a barricade and walked the rest of the parade route and found ourselves at Church Street. We walked down Church Street and as we walked farther and farther...it got more and more crowded. Suffocatingly so. Shoulder to shoulder.
Now, for those of you who know me, I don't like being touched. So this was pretty bad.
Add in:
It was about 100 degrees
My strawberry smoothy was dripping on my fingers
The loop of Village People music coming from Sailor
The nakedness
I was uncomfortable.
But, we had a blast! And we caught some drag queen and king shows. An incredible energy the whole time, sandwiched in with great people and cold, cold drinks.
If you've never been to Pride (anywhere, really) you must, must, MUST go. Gay, straight or questioning Pride is one of the most wonderful environments ever!
London Pride is having its 25th Anniversary at the end of July! W00T!
