Vancouver Pride 2010

Taste the Rainbow!

Dykes on Bikes opened the Parade.

I want a 4 wheeler just like that.

DYKE DOWN!!!

Vancouver's Primetimer's.

Just cuz you're old doesn't mean you're less gay.

This picture looks amazing in B&W. That is all.

First Nations Gay and Lesbian of BC.

Nice throw, Barb!

Vancouver Police Marching Band.

Hello, Officer.

Pull-ovah! Vroom vroom!!! Wooooohhhh!

Vancouver Fire Dept. Push,guys!

Oh this one was saucy...

I see areola!

This sailor was popular.

Believe it or not, they were NOT dancing to Village People....sadly.

There's a new Queer Sheriff in town,boys...

Hyatt, anti-gay. Never stay there anyway, they are anti-clean as well.

LOVE the I.V. bags,inside we are all gay.

BC Nurses Union, thank you ladies!

More to it than Brokeback Mountain people.

Ferris Bueller's Twist n Shout. Awesome.



Holla for Fraser Valley!

Family Pride!

This lovely old lady received a standing ovation from the crowds.

The WHOLE DAMN family!

Yes, do. In with anger, out with LOVE.

Fabulous.

Little Sisters got the most crowd reaction for a long overdue job well done.

The local TV crew that followed Naked Guy for 2 hours...too frightening to post.

TD Bank had it going ON. Most danceable music too.


Festival site.

People living on Beach Ave. enjoying the show.

Gay For A Day put on by Convenant House. Great Charity local to Vancouver.

Don't ask.

I bought one.

Religion was rampant at Pride,every denomination practically was represented in a fair and accepting way. I was impressed but still not on Team Jesus.

Oxygen Bar.

"It's so amazing and relaxing. I just feel refreshed from a long nap!"

I'm not sure either but the outfits were so pretty.

Honey, that is art, not a costume!

Fierce!

He handed me card that said, "Want a cuddle?" Yes.

Volunteers make the world go'round!


What Pride wouldn't be complete without a leather Daddy and a pink tutu at the Hawaiian Ice? Amazingly this wasn't the craziest thing I saw all day, but I did have fun.
Don't miss it next year, I won't!

Some amazing pics, Jax!
I actually know the foreskin awareness guy QUITE well - I'll tell you stories one time - I've known him since SFU and he was always a fucking weirdo. If you want to add him on facebook, he's Glen Callender.

Those last pics of the art/not costume - incredibly beautiful headpiece!

Love the IV bags!

Did all the banks make a showing or just TD? (still shopping around :))

What's the deal with the Hyatt?

thank you!
i only recall seeing TD, but it was so crazy and stuff was going by i might have missed one. but TD was a HUGE sponsor...i have the green ray bans and scarf to prove it.lol.

Hyatt apparently has issue with gay workers and HIV + workers...who stays there anyway??

Love the nurses and the IV bags. Gives me an idea for a great prank -- middle of the night levity.
