I know my country and city aren't perfect. Our Prime Minister is making dreadful decisions regarding the environment, and our mayor is a huge embarassment - but I am so, so proud that gay rights are recognized and widely supported.
Yesterday was the Pride Parade - the culmination of a 10-day celebration of LBGT rights here in Toronto - one of the biggest in the world. Michelle had a really intersesting take on it. She said: "I don't like crowds, and I don't like parades, but attending my first Pride Parade was like discovering the true meaning of Christmas. There's such a sense of freedom to do and *be* whoever you are."
Yay Toronto! Yay Canada!
