It’s Pride Week here in Van…video from the Celebration of Light…how hetero is your Twitter account?

Today marks the official start of Pride Week here in Vancouver. The countdown is on. If you haven’t got one already, get your hands on Xtra West’s Pride Guide.

There’s a section outlining my top 8 picks for Pride…so if you’re at a loss of what to do over the next week, it will give you some ideas.
