The first time I saw the gay village banner, I was amused.
Though the name sounds dubious, turns out that gay village is more like a music event from June till September where DJ’s are invited to perform and people just enjoy themselves. Kind of like WOMAD
But the first time I saw this gay pride banner, I was stunned.
Mainly because I didn’t expect a country where the main religion is Roman Catholics to be so open about events such as these.
It looked pretty fun though. It looked so festive! With so many people dressing up, a plentiful of cross dressers, it kind of reminds me of Thailand. We couldnt stop because we were rushing to use the open bus before the services ends. I feel really bad that I missed it.
I even saw a tall one, all dressed up glamourously with a “Miss Italia” sash. I badly wanted a picture with her! Instead, all I could snap was is this lousy blur-ass picture because the bus was moving.
Hopefully next time.

LOL I love the slogan in the first banner photo “THIS IS THE PLACE” that just sounds so wrong on so many levels haha but of course the other banner photo just left me speechless.
This is the place
Wink wink ;-)
if only that bus had waited a minute longer you could have got your pic and Miss Gay Italia would now be a star…as you say, hopefully next time!
That’s not the Miss Gay Italia in the picture though, she’s a lot taller and dressed so elegantly. But yeah, hopefully next time :S
Sounds fun! LOL @ Miss Italia!
You should have seen her, so tall! So elegant, so classy! You would feel compelled to want to take a picture with her too if you saw her!
Go for the Gay Pride next year! I am sure you will love it and have lots of fun snapping a ton of pics. Turin also has a yearly gay pride and I went to one two years ago. It wasn’t a very big affair but it was fun being there!
I’ve been missing each and single one ever since I’ve been to Italy, since 2005 when Cart and I first met each other in real life even. Urgh! I hope I wont miss the one next year!
