PHOTOS: Judging By These Pictures, We’d Say EuroPride In Amsterdam Was Quite A Success

Each year, gays from across the world gather in a different European city for EuroPride, two weeks of non-stop parties, parades and celebration. This year, the festivities were held in Amsterdam and, judging by some of the photos, it was one for the record books.
