Vancouverites have a lot of pride. A lot of Vancouver pride, yes. But also a lot of gay pride. With one of the most vital gay communities in North America, you'd better believe that a shit-ton of LGBTQ and sometimes Y's will come out (no pun intended). Last year brought over 100 parade entries and a crowd of over 385,000 spectators to the Village to watch and participate in the proceedings. Expect many half (and some full) naked people, rainbow colours, floats, pride, music, and generally a whole lot of spectacle out on the streets this weekend. Whether you're gay, straight, bi curious, or bi curious curious, you'll have a good time at this 30th anniversary Vancouver institution. Whether you want to go or not, it may be hard to avoid.
