Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade 2007

 Photos from Amsterdam Gay Pride Parade 2007

 - The whole thing was happening from August 3 to 5th. I think it's the first weekend of August every year.

 - Gay Pride Parade was found in 1995. And it's the main gay event in Netherlands. I think that no other gay parade can be compared with the Amsterdam one. It has  the very peculiar spirit, and more to that it takes place on the numerous canals of the city.

 - The population increases this weekend. Male population... Mainly gay one. :)... From all over the world. There are much less lesbians or they are just less striking.  Especially it is weird to watch so many cute guys and be aware that all of them are gays. Straight men if go this day to watch the parade bring along  their female friends or girlfriends who can protect them.. in case... :))))

 - The funny thing about this day was that the weather which was particulary dreadful almost the whole summer before and after happened to be so shiny, warm and wonderful. Previous Friday was rainy and cold and Monday right after it was rainy and cold again. So I think that someone responsible for the weather favours gay-people...

- The event starts in the morning with few decorated boats\barges\yachts leading to the center. By the midday it gets more and more of those with people dressed extravagantly  and  different soundtracks. People drink, dance and drum up cute!!! onlookers on board. In the evening all this company ends up in the clubs of the city. And at night... I suspect  there is more gay sex happening in the city that weekend than during the whole year...
