Church Street
Throughout Canada, Toronto is known for its gay-friendly cultural
scene. While Canada only recently legalized same-sex marriage, the
city of Toronto has long supported gay culture with its annual “Pride
in Toronto” celebrations—the largest in Canada. It has
been in existence since the 1970s, in some form or another, but
has been celebrated annually since 1981, during the last week of
June.
Church Street is especially famous, especially since the U.S.-backed
television show “Queer As Folk” popularized the area
by using many of the local hotspots in its scenes. The best times
to visit this area, known as Toronto’s Gay Village, is in
June. But stop by anytime and you’ll find great restaurants
and campy nightlife events to keep you entertained.
