Montreal Pride 2007: The Parade

After much ballyhoo, and controversy the Montreal Pride parade finally hit the streets of Montreal. Scheduled, canceled, and rescheduled this venerable Village tradition has been celebrated and reviled in the same sentence by residents.
Only after breaking away from the larger Divers/cite celebrations could this event even get off the ground. Still a gay man loves a parade!
Are Pride celebrations on the decline, are they a thing of the past as gay’s are accepted into the mainstream? Let us know your thoughts.
Thanks to reader Stanley for the snapshots!
