(Canada) - Montreal's Gay Pride parade Sunday afternoon was one of the biggest the city has staged, attracting about 50,000 spectators, organizers say. The sun shone bright for spectators who lined the sidewalks of Sainte Catherine Street, as many as 15 deep on some blocks, to watch the pageantry pass under a canopy of rainbow flags. Parade organizers say they're thrilled to have drawn such a huge crowd despite having had little time to organize the event. Organizers with Celebrations LGBTA Montreal 2007 (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and All) had just seven weeks to plan the parade after Divers/Cité pulled out of it early in the summer, to focus on an arts and culture festival.
