We've got Justin Trudeau marching in Toronto next weekend. Should be spectacular.
Thanks for posting.

but I get your drift
to have marched with the LGBT community — something “a lot of senators and congressmen had been afraid to do until fairly recently.”
“I encountered one of the most moving, emotional outpourings I’ve ever seen,” Frank remembers. “Because here were people who had lived their lives being mocked, being shunned by their own families…And the sight of the First Lady of the United States…marching in a gay Pride Parade. That was an enormously powerful demonstration.”
16 years later, Clinton is still celebrating New York City Pride.

This is the 2006 37th Gay Pride Parade.
