“I told a kid: ‘Who’s better than you? No-oo-body! You’ve got to feel that way about yourself.… That’s pride.” MEL LASTMAN, FORMER TORONTO MAYOR, URGING FORD TO ATTEND PRIDE PARADE

THE BMW 328i xDRIVE FOR $328. LEASE PAYMENT
Why the mayor seems to be shunning occasions involving homosexuals is being debated in many corners of Toronto’s gay community as the huge signature Pride festival gets underway. Rob Ford’s office flatly denies that’s the case. But his decision to head to his cottage rather than the July 3 Pride parade — with no explanation for the festival’s nine other days — coupled with years of brow-raising comments and council votes, has many jumping to conclusions. Asked Thursday if he will attend any Pride events, the mayor said: “I’ll take it one day at a time. My family comes first.”
