Montreal's first daytime gay pride parade since 2004 pulled in a buoyant downtown crowd Sunday afternoon which organizers said exceeded 50,000 - far above their earlier predictions of 30,000. The sun shone bright for spectators who lined the sidewalks of Sainte Catherine Street, to watch the pageantry pass under a canopy of rainbow flags. They were packed as much as 15 deep in some spots along the 16-block downtown route, arrayed on the banks of a spectacular river of 1,500 marchers combining colour and movement.
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.
