Of all the fun associated with Pride—the parade, the wild outfits, the half-naked people littering the streets—call us jaded, but our favourite part is getting our drink on until 4 a.m. Like in recent years, most of the festivities will be split between Church Street and Parkdale, but this year, Queen West will be a whole lot quieter as homo hipster hot spot Wrongbar (and host of such major Pride events as Big Primpin’ and the Will Munro memorial Vazaleen) was denied a late licence—surprising news, as it was allowed to stay open late two weekends ago for NXNE.
