By Kathy Belge, About.com

I told you my favorite gay pride events in the world. What do you think? Do you agree with my picks? Where is the best gay pride you have ever been (or want to go) to? Share with the World!

Dallas

I have been to every major city pride there is in the USA and I have to say, Dallas pride is where the hot girls are.

Chicago

I love Chicago's gay pride, so many people and the parade is very nice. Its like one big party in the streets after the parade.
—Guest Walt

Madrid Spain

I've been last years attending Madrid, Spain pride celebrations and ... well... I doubt there is a gayest place on earth ... 2 million + people, and "gay pride day" turned into "gay pride week"

The best gay parade in the world is MADRID SPAIN 2 MILLION PEOPLE AND 1 WEEK PARTY.

Pride "rankings"

It makes no sense to rank Pride festivals, as the authors are usually only familiar with American ones, and rank those above ones that are bigger and better. Be honest... if you always go to the same pride festival every year, it is hard to "rank" world festivals.

Toronto PRIDE

Many people from around the world come to Toronto during Pride Week in late June to join Canadians in celebrating diversity! Over 1 million people have attended every year! You can get married here during Pride and the city welcomes ALL!

St. Louis Pride

I have been attending Pride St. Louis, MO for a number of years now. As an entire weekend of entertainment, education, rallies, marches, and vendors I find it to be the best in the Mid-west! With performers such as Jordan Knight (from New Kids on the Block) God-des & She, and Jen Foster over the last few years it grows every year. I Love it!!!! (Oh and the MCC- Metro Church of Christ, every years performs numorous Commitment Ceremonies!)

San Diego Pride

San Diego Pride is a such a great energy event. I love that the parade route is left closed to cars for quite awhile after the parade and becomes the "after party".
—Guest buenaluz

Utah Pride

Utah Pride well I wouldn't say the best but it is so great because it happens in Downtown Salt Lake City! It cracks me up how riled up the Mormons get. And how they don't realize that they are just making fools of them selves by being there. I also like how the protesting crowd gets smaller every year too.

Cologne, Germany

In Cologne Germany beginning July each year the whole city is dancing. A train with over 150 wagons and more then over 1 million gay people will be dancing through the whole city. Just fun fun fun!
