There is no other LGBT Pride celebration anywhere in the world like Amsterdam’s. The city famous for its canals, cannabis, and sexual freedom has long been an example to the world of how to treat its gay and lesbian citizens with dignity and respect, and of how to do full legal equality right.
So it should come as no surprise that Amsterdam’s annual LGBT Pride celebration is one of the most unique in the world, with boats instead of floats that literally float around the city’s rings of picturesque canals as hundreds of thousands of Dutch revelers – most of whom are straight – and tens of thousands more international visitors come out along the waterways to celebrate Holland’s diversity and cheer on its LGBT citizenry.
