Mexico City Gay Pride 2006 - Within the 10 best in the world !
17 June 2006 - It's hard to add a splash of color to the vibrancy of Mexico
City, but each year hundreds of thousands of gays and lesbians manage to do so
as Pride celebrates Mexican queer culture. Sellers of gay objects, snow cones,
fruit cocktails, and foor make a killing, as showy flamboyance is something gay
Mexicans have for breakfast.
Around 150,000 parade each year with floats along the beautiful tree-lined Paseo
de la Reforma, ending up in the huge Zocalo (main square) in the center of town
with a rally and a carnival. The event also features cultural and political
events, and with an already diverse gay social scene, Mexico City is the perfect
place to go loco.
Our agency has an office in Los Angeles and Mexico City, we are Gay Mexico
experts and provide travel packages for special events and vacations to Gay

| Celebrate gay
pride in the gayest cities on earth. Here are the top places to
celebrate gay
pride.
1) New York City
Gay Pride New York City is the birth place
of the modern gay rights
movement, so it makes sense that NYC would host one of the
world's biggest and best gay
pride events. A full week of
activities begins with a rally and ends with a parade and
all kinds of activities packed inbetween.
Sunday, June 18th - Sunday, June 25th,

Amsterdam
Gay Pride Amsterdam hosts one of the biggest
gay pride events in the
world. Partiers celebrate in the streets all weekend long
culminating in the Gay
Pride Canal Parade. Whereas most
gay
pride parades take to the streets, in Amsterdam 100
decorated boats sail through the Prinsengracht river. More
than 350,000 spectators watch every year.
August 4-6,
2006.3)
San Francisco San Francisco is the gayest
city
in the United States, so it makes sense they have one of the
best pride parades and
festivals. With Jennifer Beals as your Grand Marshall, do
you really need any other reason to attend? Visit the homo
hip hop stage or drink in the ladies at the The Nectar
Women's Stage.
June 24-25, 20064)
Atlanta Gay Pride The South is hot and you can't get hotter than Atlanta's
Gay
Pride. Don't miss performances by Melissa Ferrick,
Michele Malone and Three5Human in Piedmont Park. Or line up
along Peachtree Street to watch the scantily clad guys and
gals strut on by. And don't forget to march in the Dyke
March on Saturday night.
June 23rd - 25th5)
The Chicago Gay
Pride parade steps off from the
corner of Halsted & Belmont. There's also a

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras In America, we had our Stonewall
gay
and lesbian revolt in 1969. In Austraila, it happened in
1978, when police revoked a permit for a
gay pride parade and arrested 51 people. Now, Sydney
Austraila has one of the biggest pride celebrations in the world, the Sydney
Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
Unlike many places, where gay
pride lasts a week or weekend,
Sydney Mardi Gras lasts for 3-4 weeks. It happens each
February. Plan for next year!7)
Toronto, Canada Toronto is the most diverse
city
in the world and its gay
pride celebration is a
reflection of that. With a huge street fair, youth
pride, dyke march and family
pride events, there's sure to be
something for everyone to enjoy. And be sure to check out
all the free entertainment on seven stages over three days.
