Gay Pride

Going to a Pride Parade has been on my list of things to do for a long time. I don't know why, I guess I just thought it would be interesting and quite different from the parades marking the country fair that I saw growing up. So this year I decided to go to the one in Halifax. I contacted a fellow photographer and we met up there. I have to say I quite liked it. It was very family oriented and full of joy. I am glad that I went.
There were Animals:

Royalty:

Beefcake (what's a parade without a little eye candy?)

Storm Troopers- wait...., what? Nice to see that the Empire has dropped it 'don't ask, don't tell' policy:

horses:

Joy & Anticipation:

and political messages:

ain't that the truth? When will we stop worrying about who's loving who?
