Soo.... Sad... What we are promoting... instead of taking care of the city infrastructure, fighting corruption in goverment, and take car of the economy...

The Canadian Gay flag was created out of a necessity to represent and unite Canadian Gays during trying times. Canadian Queers and communities across the country have warmly embraced the flag and showed it off over the years. It is now instantly recognizable, locally and globally thanks to all my brothers and sisters, flying, wearing, and sharing it with pride and a smile.

I am humbled and honored the World Pride 2014 is being held in our backyard and we will all be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

You belong! Welcome to Toronto, to Canada, to freedom, you belong, we all do!

TORONTO is Diverse and we will show the world that anyone and everyone, despite there sexuality can and will live harmoniously in this WORLD CLASS CITY!PERIOD!

toronto needs something like this, although we are a very multicultural city, homophobia is still in the forefront of many peoples minds. Being out is hard living in the outskirts further away from downtown, like north york west end, jane and finch, jane strip, going to the east end in scarborough. The problem is that there is very little tolerance toward our community, hopefully by having world pride we could open up the eyes of the ignorant.

I think this is great, good for the city and for the world.

tallcanadian, you sound a little bitter and possibly homophobic so we're glad there will be less of you here in TO come 2014! Poor Brazil :(
