So, but why is Toronto's Parade the best in North America (or so I recall hearing or reading)? I wonder if its not really any bigger, but just more naked. And then I wonder if there is a french influence like at Wreck Beach in Vancouver, BC. Without the french, there might arguably be no Wreck Beach.

Thank you Klondike. In terms of Toronto Pride, I think it is virtually the biggest, Toronto is one of the gayest cities in the world, second perhaps only to San Francisco. We always get more than a million people at the parade. I don't see much French influence, but Toronto is a lot more European than American cities, people are more liberal in many ways. And nudity is virtually legal here in all situations, and it is specifically legal at Pride, nudity is fully legal if it is part of an organized event.
