On a boat near me was a group of lesbians, with their children. I watched the parade for a while, perched in the crowd. It was sunny and warm yesterday so it was like a city-wide street party. It’s an event for everyone, every age group, and some make it a family day out.
It really is a fantastic atmosphere, the crowd is supportive, lots of people wearing pink or carrying a rainbow flags. Through the cheers of thousands of Amsterdammers and visitors to the city. Gay Pride is celebrated with a canal parade in Amsterdam, so yesterday 80 boats, with 50-100 performers on each, sailed slowly along Prinsengracht.
