The weekend after my visit to Montélimar, I headed back to Montpellier for the region's Gay Pride celebration. Montpellier has the second largest LGBT population in France after Paris; it was a huge parade!
It was great to see this progressive celebration amidst France's classical architecture.
Unlike most Pride parades in the States, in France everybody participates in the march simply walking (or dancing) among the floats.
There were so many people in Montpellier's small pedestrian city center that it was impossible to find tables in restaurants or even a patch of cobblestone to sit down!
Even Avatar could not escape the gay.
The children were safely sheltered from the debauchery in this convenient train.
There were some slightly terrifying people.
I am so much taller than everyone in France.
After the march, there was a nighttime music festival in the streets. Unfortunately, the predominate genre was skaa. Regardless, it was a great weekend!
A demain!
