San Diego Pride
More than 100,000 people lined University Avenue in Hillcrest last Saturday for the 34th annual San Diego Pride Parade, in which participants celebrated the newly won right to same-sex marriage in California.
Early in the parade, a contingent of 40 long-term couples marched to "roaring applause'' and displayed placards listing their marital status and length of time they've been together.
Frankfurt Pride
Last weekend Frankfurt held it's annual Pride march, it looks like it got a little wet during the event. A Bat shows how to use his cape to keep one self dry.
Walking on slippery roads can be hazardous on any occasion, but when wearing plastic shoes and a just a white swimsuit very dangerous. Fortunately for this hottie a lady in fishnet stockings was walking along and offered some protection!Tuesday, 8 July 2008
Hundreds of thousands attend Madrid Gay Pride parade
Hundreds of thousands of gays, lesbians and their supporters on Saturday took part in a colourful parade across Madrid, the capital of a country that has become a world leader in gay rights.
Equality Minister Bibiano Aido led the parade of more than 30 floats, mostly related to gay bars and other businesses, but also one devoted to the Abba-themed musical "Mamma Mia", under a hot sun and to the beat of techno and Brazilian music.
"It is a day of joy, to demand the rights of people and all citizens," said Aido.

London Gay Pride
Costumed revellers and colourful floats wanded through London's streets on Saturday to celebrate the annual Pride Parade, the UK's largest gay and lesbian festival. The theme this year was fairy tales, myths and legends.
Numbers were forecast to reach 500,000, organisers said. Although the sun shone for much of the day, an outfit accessorised with an umbrella was always going to be a smart move.
Returning for every Pride Parade are feathers and of course tight small lycra swimwear.

Huge crowds lined the route as city tourism officials predicted the largest turnout yet for the parade, which typically draws hundreds of thousands.
The county clerk's office was busy Friday handing out marriage licenses and handling wedding ceremonies. Same-sex marriage has been legal in California since June 16, after a state Supreme Court decision.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom received ovations along the parade route for his role in working to overturn the state's gay marriage ban.
Chicago Gay Pride
Over the weekend Chicago also held their GLBT Pride parade the turnout was higher than years past, as many participants wanted to celebrate California's recent decision to overturn a gay marriage ban, organizers said Sunday.
Parade organizer Richard Pfeiffer estimated about 450,000 people -- approximately 25,000 more than 2007 -- attended the 39th annual celebration Sunday in Boystown, the city's gay district. Chicago police didn't immediately have an official crowd estimate available.
"People were excited and wanted to come out and celebrate and commemorate," Pfeiffer said.
Celebrations were slightly hampered when a dancer fell off a float and cracked a leg bone. Pfeiffer said the parade was stalled for nearly an hour while she was transported to the hospital.
