How does a peaceful city like Amsterdam, where everybody is gay, send a giant "F U" message to the United States without actually lifting a middle finger? By witnessing Mayor Job Cohen wed five American-Dutch gay couples.
Cohen, who performed Holland's first gay nuptials eight years ago, joined tens of thousands of spectators (or, supposedly, half a million) who watched him oversee the group wedding of five international couples on a cruise around Amsterdam's famed canals. In four of the five couples, one partner was from New York — a fitting message given New York (nee Nieuw Amsterdam) and Amsterdam's 400-year marriage of their own. Implicit in the multinational marriages: New York is so two thousand-late.

The Gay Parade last weekend the 2th of August 2009.
Was on a clear warm day, with happy people all around & thru Amsterdam. On the Grachten & around the Rembrandtplein people were partying from thursday evening til that beautiful sunday evening.
All the boats in the Grachten were colorful and decent with a very naughty touch. Everybody was having a wonderful day with the shows of Bisexuals, Homosexuals, Transsexuals & Trisexuals. Which proved one more time, that straight people don't excist. Because everybody was feeling hot for our colorful Gay Parade
