This year I got to chat with (aka sexually harass) some of my favourite politicians, including Mayor Gregor Robertson, who recently took to the DJ decks at Celebrities nightclub to kick off Pride Week; West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert; and even the sexy Justin Trudeau! Those eyes, though.

Unfortunately, illuminati puppet/prime minister Stephen Harper was not in attendance, and neither was Premier Christy Clark. Not that anybody missed that bitch.

Watch who did manage to make it out for all the fun:
