Well, sorta. We here at Xtra decided to honour the best and the brightest of Toronto’s Pride parade today. I’m not gonna lie: this was all done on a whim, so the use of the term “award” here is looser than Michele Bachmann’s asshole in a room full of people who can help her political career. That being said, if any of the “winners” really wants, I can probably MacGyver together a couple loose trinkets with some duct tape and send them as a trophy, which they can feign surprise over while thanking God/The Academy/The Little People.
