As many as half a million people packed the streets of Vancouver’s West End this afternoon to take part in the 34th annual gay pride parade.
It was a mix of colour, dance music and dazzling costumes as the floats made their way through downtown.
Says one spectator: “I think that we’re evolving more and more every year, and I think that it’s important for people to know about it and for people to be able to be who they want, and not be afraid to be who they want.”
Local transgender beauty queen Jenna Talackova served as one of the parade’s grand marshals.
