So they can make penis floats, where can i speak to these "organizers" so there can be a penis float

[kensington25]

I do not know. You will have to ask the organisers.

[mewithoutRome]

How come they don't have any Penis shaped floats?

[Karewmoz]

What song is this? I like.

Also, do you remember a float from "the door"? i missed it...

[kensington25]

jreprise I hope you can make it next year. I hope your friends had a lot of fun. I know I did :)

[jreprise]

lol one of the muscle queens dancing is my friend :p

I'm so sad that I missed it :(

My highlight had to be seeing Star Trek actor George Takei with his newly married partner. They seemed so happy. Congratulations to them both. Surely love is much of what it is about. All it is love and just wanting the same legal rights as others and not be penalised because your same sex love is treated differently under the law.

Mine too! I love Star Trek and when I saw him I started freaking out! I'm not gay, but most of my friends and some of my family are, so I am a huge supporter! It was my first Pride this year after many failed attempts to make it there in the past. I had the best time ever! Can't wait for 09! Happy Pride Everyone!

Thanks so much. It was an amazing day :)

[kensington25]

It was great fun :)

Thanks so much Fletcher for your comments. It was amazing. I just wish it was better publicised as are the Sydney and San Francisco ones. It was brilliant. Top class and still has that political edge. I had to call it a march and not a parade as the organisers want to emphasise that it is a march and not simply a parade and I wanted to give it its official title. It was great fun and I loved it. Well done to all those involved. Thank you all of you :)

OMG, real megaphones, real marching bands, real political placades. Remember them? It really is a different country. Oh, I gave 5* +^+^+

You mean "march" as in the parade, not as in the month. This is ambiguous. Mardi Gras in March, Gay Pride is June. I know, but some people could get confused about the date thing... Looks awesome. It is so different as a daytime march. Not as flashy as Mardi Gras, yet somehow more purposeful. All cities do it differently. Thank Raoul. +^+^+ The Saint
