Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau led the charge of revelers at the Pride Parade in Toronto on Sunday, where the thousands took to the streets waving rainbow flags and sporting vibrant outfits.

Trudeau proudly waved a flag that combined the LGBTQ2 rainbow flag with Canada's iconic maple as he walked with Toronto Mayor John Tory in one of the largest pride parades in North America.

LGBTQ2 stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, and 2-Spirit. 2-spirit refers to people who identify as having both a female and male spirit and is used by some Indigenous people to describe their sexual, gender or spiritual identity.

Trudeau walked with other local politicians, greeting fans and shaking hands along the way as they marched in the name of peace, love, acceptance and inclusion.

Crazed fans were seen reacting in awe and glee upon shaking hands with the Prime Minister as he led the parade on Sunday.

Trudeau looked relaxed in a white button down shirt and khakis as he enthusiastically waved at the crowds.

Following Trudeau and Tory were about 200 groups for the electric procession.

On Sunday Trudeau retweeted a message by Minister of Tourism Mélanie Joly on Twitter saying: 'In our country everyone can be proud of who they are and can be who they want to be. Through pride celebrations, we celebrate the power and beauty of diversity by enabling our #LGBTQ2 communities to shine.'

Trudeau has been a praised presence at the Pride Parades in Toronto, appearing in 2016 and 2018, known for leading the parade with a smile and affectionately greeting locals. Last year he missed Toronto's parade to support the festivities in Vancouver and Montreal.

One of the first lively floats in the parade was Casey House, where muscular dancers sported red shorts and performed for the thousands of spectators.

'This is the best thing ever. Doesn’t it make you proud of this city,' local woman Felicia Feather said to The Star.

This year's Pride parade fell on the 50th anniversary of Stonewall.

Stonewall birthed the gay-rights movement when a group of the LGTBQ community fought against during a police raid of Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich village.

'What Stonewall really represents is the fight for this community’s right to be treated as equally as everybody else. We’ve been really overwhelmed by the love and the support we’ve had this year. You’re going to see that completely demonstrated in the context of the parade,' Pride Toronto's executive director Olivia Nuamah said to the outlet.
