Colombia natives enjoy freedom of Toronto Pride
Two young men dressed in little more than belts adorned with fabric fruit leaves and matching head-dresses in recognition of the "Bursting with Fruit Flavours" theme of Toronto’s Pride Week stand out as symbols of a universal quest for gay rights. Ramon, 28, and his best friend Gianfranco, 20, both originally from Colombia, were part of the Hola Latino group, near the lead of Toronto's lesbian and gay pride parade. "For me, it’s amazing because you know, in my country, it is like, really difficult to do it," said Gianfranco, who left his homeland to live in Toronto. "Here, it’s really, really nice, and you can enjoy yourself." "It’s amazing," agreed Ramon. "I think Toronto ... needs more of these activities."
