Back in the 1700s, Voltaire was onto something when he said “we are rarely proud when we are alone.” This idea remains true for many lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, queer or questioning folk who spend their pre- and post-coming out years dealing with shame. To this day, LGBTQ+ community members around the world have to […]

“Why is there such a thing as gay pride but no such thing as straight pride?” I can’t tell you how many times, whether at the grocery store picking up a four pack of yogurt—or in the last minutes of a meeting at the office, that I’ve heard this come at me from an intelligent […]

If you live in Toronto, it’s pretty impossible to avoid the infectious nature of the city’s annual Pride celebrations. Sweeping through with parties, parades and all around good vibes, Pride 2013 seemed bigger than ever. It seemed more stylish too, especially by the looks of our photo gallery from Drip, Travis Richel’s weekend-long party at Smith on Church Street.

While the rest of the city was busy setting off Canada Day fireworks and lining the streets for the annual blowout Pride Parade, Toronto’s hippest were hanging in the beautifully shaded backyard belonging to gallerist Daniel Faria. Co-hosted by Faria and alongside Rui Amaral and Andrea Beechey, the backyard soiree (complete with drag show by Mozza Fierce, tunes by DJ Diego Armand and drinks served by topless The Earl’s Men) was a welcome respite from the frenzied pulse beating through the city’s wears. Instead, guests like Trinity Jackman, Jeremy Laing, Frank Griggs and Catherine Dean favoured easy breezy Ts, loose summer dresses, tropical prints and strapped flats. Check out our favourite shots from street shooter extraordinaire, Textstyles’ Stefania Yarhi.

A long weekend means an extra long to-do list. Whether you’re escaping the city for a lazy afternoon at a vineyard, playing the hep cat at a jazz club or watching Michelle Williams on the big screen, fireworks are guaranteed. Happy Canada Day.
