Description

October 31 Toronto In an annual Halloween ritual, hundreds of homophobes stood outside the Parkside Tavern on Yonge Street throwing eggs, tomatoes, apples, and insults, and waiting for drag queens to walk between the Parkside and the St. Charles Tavern, south on Yonge. Police did not disperse the mob, and no gay organization was visibly present during the event.
