Photos: 2015 Toronto Pride Parade

Here are the photos of the 2015 Toronto Pride Parade. I wasn’t really motivated to finish the Pride because it got boring. I don’t like it when each group has more than 50 people marching and do nothing but walk. Not even cheering. It got drag. So, I decided to just go somewhere else.

Or maybe, it’s just the drizzle and the chilly weather?

The best thing about this year’s Pride Parade is the presence of celebrities who marched as International Marshalls: Cyndi Lauper, Pussy Riot and Celina Jaitly. Davish Furnish, (a.k.a. Elton John’s husband) who is from Toronto, also marched as the Grand Marshall.

Let’s start with Cyndi Lauper (International Grand Marshall) who came as Marie Antoinette in her underwear.  It’s Cyndi being Cyndi, right? 😀

Pussy Riot, an all-girl punk group from Russia, graced the Pride Parade in a massive, red missile. (See more photos here.)

Celina Jaitly, a successful Bollywood actress, marched in all her enthusiasm, grace, beauty and cause for FREE and EQUAL in her native India where homosexuality is still a crime.

David Furnish came in all his white pants which our group complimented. He looked at us and said, “Thank you” with a smile.

And here’s the crowd under the shitty rain.

The drizzle didn’t dampen their Pride spirit of tolerance and diversity.

The ROTC waved their banner flags for the last time, after participating in the parade for many years. The group decided to disband after this.

And even if pride is a celebration of diversity, Pride isn’t just pride without a protest.
