It's fantastic festival - and don't think it is exclusively for gays! The largest of its kind - but it has to be if ypu consider that Toronto has the largest gay population in America. It has also 2 distinctive gay villages with shops, restaurants and clubs, often visited by stright persons, its own theatre and tv station. There is also the official nude beach
