Hundreds of thousands watch parade

Toronto's gays

burst with pride

By AARON SANDS

  

It was a gay affair -- not that there's anything wrong with that.
Colorful sparkles, bubbles, and condoms floated through the air as downtown Toronto turned into a mystical land of outrageous naked sexual pride yesterday for the city's annual Gay Pride Day parade.
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the event. Metro Police last night said they didn't have a crowd estimate.

booths and spilled out of building windows to catch a glimpse of the summer's strangest spectacle.
One group of 10 bottomless men flaunted their nakedness in front of children watching from the sidelines.
"I'm topless from the knees up, that's the way I look at it," said Jim, of San Diego, Calif., who wore nothing but a studded dog collar and cowboy boots. "I'm from the land of the free, home of the brave and I'm here to be freer and braver than I can be back there."

 


NOTE: Of course, I was not wearing a dog collar -- nor was any other member of our party.

How dare they confuse us with those leather perverts???

[Note to the humor impaired: the line above is a joke. Don't take us seriously.]
