I Seeeeee You.....

The Gay Pride Parade took over the streets of Toronto yesterday.

And although many think them flamboyant and "out there", I found them hiding.

Hiding down a winding street. All very quiet.

Okay, I guess this was the staging area for the start of the parade.

But kind of neat to see them all huddled away before they burst on to the streets of Toronto.

And burst they did.

This float contained many scantily clad people, all singing and gyrating.

Now that doesn't really distinguish it at all from any of the other many, many floats.

Except the band were all wearing Rob Ford masks - and not in tribute to the mayor or Toronto, either.

This float, as far as I could make out from their sign, is comprised of gay Thai's.

Uhhh...also dancing and gyrating.

I call this pic "Gays guys watching gay Thai's."

You call it what you like.

I have no idea who/what these people represent.

But as you can see, they were also dancing and gyrating. I was sensing a theme....

And as I watched, I also thought that this parade is becoming more and more like Caribana. And not because of the dancing and gyrating either.

In the half an hour I watched, none of the floats moved at all. Everything was at a stand still.

The only thing that moved (apart from every guy's jingly bits) was an NDP float that passed the two floats I was watching.

How do you pass in a parade?...

And before things even started, I had a mini-parade pass by my window!

Which is how I found their secret hiding place....

Hey! How did these guys get in here?

Snuck in right at the end of the parade.

Of course, it's hard to see here, but none of their pants had fronts. So I guess they fit right in.

And who says gays are all neat and tidy.

Not the Toronto Sanitation Department! Bringing up the rear (settle down...)

Anyway, they had great weather for it and nobody lost an eye.

Unless somebody got too close to those gyrating jingly bits.....

At least the scantily clad were somewhat cool, temperature-wise. The guys in the full regimantal dress - surprising there weren't deaths from heat stroke!

(Is there nothing one can say that doesn't become a double entendre of sorts? Shakespeare would love this!)
