Big Gay Festival and Parade- Andy

Madrid welcomed us with a huge Gay Day festival.

Madrid welcomed us with a huge Gay Day festival. The president here just legalized gay marriage and adoption and you can feel the enthusiasm here. We were just chilling in a park when we heard drums, and walked down to the sound. First we saw a little boy with his mother who was carrying a small rainbow flag, then turned the corner and there it was: well over 150,000 people in the streets of Madrid. Standing on the street we saw around 50 party floats parading by. A non-stop line of flamboyant gays, black leather and chains gays, pretty-boy gays, big gays, big drag queens, freaks dancing on stilts, pretty ladies in cars (or so I think), sailor-boy gays, girly gays, and so on. There were huge firecracker blasts in random places in crowd, the loudest music I've heard ever — techno with American words. Sensing tonight is not the night for heterosexuals, we're heading to Barcelona on a night train.
