San Fran has nothing on TDOT

[Jizelle]

So I went on an expedition to the beautiful Southern California. The first stop was San Francisco. It is noted that San Fran is the gay capital of the world. Well I guess whoever conducted that social study has not been to Toronto.

While at San Fran's city hall there were a collection of multicoloured flags that formed the rainbow, my naturally embedded gay-dar surely didn't beep as loud and often as it does walking down the streets of Toronto. Oddly enough tho, the castro, which is just as small as church st, isn't the actual designated 'gay district' San Fran. In Fact the gay district was HUGEEE, going on for blocks, decorated in high end fasihon boutiques for men, tasteful and classy restaurants and trendy bars and clubs.

I find it quite funny that in Toronto, which admittingly has a high gay population has literally a 2 block street designated for gay culture and socialness. It's like... hey ya we know we got lots of you people but here, we're going to give you nothing to work with. have fun ! Anyone who has partied on Church knows what a major bore-fest it actually is.

Anyways, oddly enough even tho Toronto doesn't claim the title of the Queenest city in the world, it surely beat out the competition for World Pride, which we are hosting in 2014. Perhaps it's about time we too get a rainbow flag collection at our city hall too.

eat our shorts san fran!!!

Lookin beautiful Neveah. You are lucky to spend some time in San Fran. I've never been. But I have heard a few cultural dignitaries call Hamilton the blue collar version of San Fran. Maybe, but probably not. hehehe
I'm curious, do you feel the level of openness and acceptability for the queer scene is the same for both cities?

Anything to do with Bob Sagit is fucking Gay as hell.


I think u actually have your bridges mixed up.
That is the Bay Bridge in the background of that picture.
The golden gate is red.


I was actually suprised how few decent restaurants there were in the Castro area.

I don't think San Francisco is as gay as it is made out to be, I would say Toronto is far gayer from what I have seen. However Toronto is somewhat larger than San Francisco itself. Plus in Canada the whole country seems to revolve around Toronto, so i think a lot of gays tend to move there from other parts of the country. Many other Canadian cities have virtually no gay scene.

"Plus in Canada the whole country seems to revolve around Toronto"

Hahahaha. Falling right into the Toronto trap. Big City. Plenty of action, but it ain't the centre of the Canadian universe... maybe southern Ontario. Thats why we in the Hammer hate'em. We are the rebels stationed in the outer rim (A little star wars to go with the space analogy)

Hmm ... that's funny ... I always thought the whole country revolved around Edmonton ...

how does that saying go,,,if the truth hurts? toronto is a second class city full of gun slinging cowards who choose to shoot anything that moves.its the only canadian city that english is the second language.last time i checked culture isnt the first thing that a city should hang its hat on maybe its time to clean up the city and make it a safe place to live wouldnt that be a switch?
