Show Your Pride Toronto!

Ok so after the pain of Korea's World Cup defeat subsided, and the worst restaurant experience I've recently had now behind me, my gf and I made our way down to "Gay Street". It's Pride Week in TO and since it was Friday night, I thought it might be interesting to go and see what the stink was all about. Wow!


The party was totally on! These Winnipeg eyes were confronted with scenes usually reserved for the movies or late night cable TV. But I gotta say that inspite of the weird mix of homosexuals, queens, transvestites, lesbians, and all those in between, it was really a healthy atmosphere. Everyone was just out for a good time and living life.

These are a couple of the bars down in the Gayborhood. Lub (pronouved "lube") and Sailor were of course making me giggle so I had to snap a few shots.

Now this person here totally confused me. On the one hand this is a shot of a very attractive woman....or is it a man? Which team is she/he batting for? I didn't want to ask as it was kinda rude and her companion was a giant dude.

While walking up and down the party, we came across some really interesting samples of marketing. May be I should forward them on to Paul Cubbon and see what he thinks:


ps: We came across an outdoor beer garden that was setting up a stage. They were blasting out Bhangra music so I immediately remembered when Asif showed me Russel Peters: "We're Indian...and were gaaaaaay!"
