Justin Trudeau, Canada's second
youngest prime minister, marched in Sunday's LGBT Pride parade in
Toronto, making him the first sitting prime minister to march in the
parade.
“Proud. #PrideTO,” Trudeau tweeted
to his more than 1.82 million followers along with a photomontage of
himself waving a Canadian pride flag (a Canadian maple leaf on a
field of rainbow colors) as he marched in the parade, giving a thumbs
up to a group of people perched on a building rooftop, and shaking
hands with revelers behind a metal barricade, one of whom is draped
in a rainbow flag.
Earlier in the day, Trudeau attended an
outdoor church service in the heart of Toronto's LGBT community.
According to The
Star, Trudeau blew a kiss at a person holding a sign which
read, “Trudeau, kiss me, it'll make my Twitter explode.”
The parade started with a tribute to
the 49 people who died in last month's mass shooting in a gay
nightclub. Marchers displayed the names and ages of the victims of
the massacre.
