This is the year WorldPride comes to Toronto, and that means this summer’s Pride celebrations will be like nothing we’ve seen before. While we’re flaunting our own vibrant queer scene with hundred of homegrown events (see NOW’s Pride Preview, June 19), T.O. also hosts a mammoth Human Rights Conference June 25 to 27 – a meeting facing more urgent matters than ever, given what’s happening in Russia, Uganda and elsewhere. Expect more than a million LGBTQ celebrants from around the world to party hard, starting right from the opening ceremony June 20. It all peaks at the WorldPride Parade – guaranteed to be ginormous – on June 29. worldpridetoronto.com.
