MONTREAL's GAY PRIDE PARADE 2009, by TICKLEBEAR

the theme this year was FIESTA!!

& people have delivered

as there was a lot of colors,

most seemed in good spirit

& it made for a great event.

i went with linoue to see the parade

& we were both enchanted with the experience.

there were clubs & community associations,

lots of music & some dancing [in this heat!!!].

polite statements were made

& it shouldn't create any scandals as in some previous years...

gays are just SO polite!!!...

enjoy the pictures (some are captioned) & the videos!!

thanks to the organisers, sponsors & all of the many participants.

a two hours well spent,

despite the heat...

you can say

mother nature was shining on us!!!

& even though there were many politicians present at the parade,

i don't recall seeing a tory from ottawa.

i guess they do have a sense of survival,

after the affront they did to montreal,

denying divers/cite their grant

for our first gay pride.

yes,

we have two gay pride festivals here in montreal.

jealous?!?

that's just how proud we are!!

(if only...)
