Toronto’s Pride always gets a bit more political thanks to the Dyke March. This year, on Saturday, June 27, so many women and their LGBT and trans allies braved the cold wind and rain to demonstrate, march and showcase what grassroots activism is all about.

Here are some of our favourite moments from the march, captured in photos.
