Hi, there!
The summer is about to start from tomorrow( June 21th), but do you know Pride Parade? You can see a lot of rainbow flags, ads and something with rainbow colour here in Toronto. But do you know what ‘PRIDE’ is??
Today, let’s take a look at Pride Parade and Pride Parade in Toronto 2019!
What is Pride Toronto?
Pride Toronto is a not-for-profit organization that supports the queer communities of our city and beyond. We work to ensure equal rights and representation for every person of diverse sexual and gender identities.

In short, Pride Toronto …
- a group for sexual and gender minorities
- not to work to make money or business
Our Vision
quoted from: Pride Toronto
No matter who you love, how you identify, or who you choose to be, you will be safe, valued, equal, and proud.
In my opinion, I love their philosophy because I believe everyone has the right to love and be loved. Also, safety is really important for any minorities because ‘minorities’ are often persecuted.
