This weekend the annual pride parade and festival took place in Stockholm, the Venice of the north. Sweden is one of the most HBT-friendly countries in the world and that really showed itself in the parade.

We saw doctors, nurses, police officers and military all in their uniforms parading proudly and shaking their booty to gay anthems such as "Freedom" by George Michael and "YMCA" by The Village People.

We loved the police part, they rocked!




Stockholm started the festival in 1998 and it has since then grown to be the biggest pride event in the north and has got its own festival area with games and workshops mixed with speeches and performances.

Love was in the air, and apparently in the hair:



We had lots of different types of pride,

Dogpride



Babypride



Piratepride in the shape of Jacqueline Sparrow:



Transvestitepride







Marriagepride:


And we even had a visit from the storybooks!

Alice in transgenderland:





And all the babyoil in Stockholm was sold out because of these two gentlemen:




The most important message of the day was brought to us by these guys



SuicideGirls was represented by Morrigan and DeeDee who took it upon themselves to shake their sweet little booty too, wave the pride flag and take loads of pictures to spread the joy of gayness all over the world.



Say it loud, we support the gay and are PROUD!
