Every year, tens of thousands of visitors come to Toronto to celebrity pride on this day.

Pride Parade is held on the last day of the month celebration and lasts for hours.
多伦多的同志骄傲大游行举世闻名，但外来游客却很少知道多伦多同志骄傲其实远不止大游行一项活动，现在已经发展成同志月，当然活动最集中的还是在大游行举办的这个周末。街头会设有很多摊位，提供免费信息或出售商品、食物，也有赞助商沿街发放免费试用品。更有趣的还是看人，因为会有打扮、行为各异的（包括有全裸的）很多人川流不息，令人眼花缭乱。

Four hundred years ago in Japan, male youths, called wakashu, were the objects of sexual desire for women and men. Creating a third gender, wakashu looked different from both women and adult men and played distinct social and sexual roles.
The exhibition, A Third Gender, explores the complex system of sexual desire and social expectation from 1603 to 1868 in Edo Japan. Featuring stunning woodblock prints, paintings, illustrated books, kimono, and armour, it tells a pivotal story in the history of human sexuality. Unsettling contemporary North American values, A Third Gender invites you to think differently about gender and sexuality.
