canadian pride flag on a motorcycle

This is a blog post full of people shots from Sunday of Pride week-end.  Some taken during Church Street festivities and some along the parade route.   There are posed shots, selfies, and a few candids.  To me, Pride is about the people – the diversity of the crowd, the non-judgemental ‘come as you want’ attitude.  Put on your party hats and join the celebration.
