Toronto Pride 2010 Attracts Over One Million

The annual pride parade in downtown Toronto on Sunday attracted about one million audience. It's the largest gay activity in North America.

The parade in Toronto lasted more than two hours. Maybe out of the expectation of first-time audience with different cultural backgrounds, police and governmental officials were also seen in the parade together with the gay groups.

The pride parade in Toronto came into being in 1981, now it has become one of the biggest gay parades in the world.

Canada became the third country legalizing same-sex marriage in 2006. With a population of 50,000 gays, Toronto will host WorldPride in 2014.
