If you had asked me what my perfect Pride would consist of, never would I have been able to come up with a scenario that would come close the the perfect Pride weekend I just had!

It was the right combo of work and play.  First off the weather was flawless Saturday afternoon on the corner of Church & Wellesley.

Then what to my wondering eye should appear, but Toronto’s FIRST Trans March!  Hundreds strong they march down Church St. to thunderous applause.  (Trans is the new Gay!)

After a butt load of beer and a good night rest, I was ready to host The Pride & Remembrance Run.  Held ever year during Pride this year the beneficiaries were Casey House & Black Cap.

Which was a huge success!! 

Time to get ready to host the Saturday night main stage with Deborah Cox… did you think I wouldn’t have a ‘look’?

The next day started with rain, but exactly at 2pm, when the parade started, the sky cleared (that’s cuz God loves his gays).   One mother along the parade route held a sign I loved.  Her feelings of devotion and love for her son surpassed all others!   Perched on the back of the VW convertible we led the PROUD FM float which followed behind with a rainbow arc of coloured ballons down Yonge St. and passed 1 million+ onlookers!

Of course, the best part of the weekend, was that I got to spend it with Shaun!
