Every time I think Montreal is about to take a break from all the fun it keeps having, it pumps up the volume – this week, that means Montreal’s loud-and-proud Pride celebrations, an above-ground graffiti and skateboarding fest, five days of francophone-style blues and a weekend-long children’s festival.

QUEER OF THE YEAR 2011: DAY 3
Fuel up on that green tea and strap on those Sketcher’s Shape-Ups because today’s challenge is all about Healthy Lifestyle! Last night they got to tone up a bit in preparation for the physical fitness aspect by dancing on a… pole? That’s right. They got a pole dancing fitness class. Clothes came off, arms got sore and some of the Queers may have discovered their future calling! Then again… maybe not…
QUEER OF THE YEAR 2011: DAY 2
After a night of celebration and cheers at the housewarming party, the finalists arrived at the location for their first challenge surprisingly fresh and coherent. It’s a good thing too, because they had to turn up the heat and put their best face forward…

The Queer of the Year 2011 host is Mikala Bierma, gay famous for her YouTube web series “Disappointing Gay Best Friend.” Now, if Mikala is going to host a competition in Montreal, she’ll need to know a thing or two about the Gay Village. Luckily for her, I was there to give a tour….
FINALISTS FOR QUEER OF THE YEAR 2011 ANNOUNCED

These are my personal thoughts on this crackerjack group of Queers…
LESBIAN MONTREAL: JUNE
Summer is off to its cavalier start in good old Montreal. Montreal is a must-have-bike kind of a city in the summer, so even if you’re in town for just a bit, take a Bixi out to your next outing. We’ve got a fancy indie flea market where the cutest of the cutest will surely be, all sorts of nakedness at the Fringe Fest and Cirque du Soleil’s highly anticipated Totem…
A STRAIGHT FRIENDLY GUIDE TO MONTREAL’S GAY VILLAGE
We always talk about “gay-friendly” places outside the village where we gays can go to have a fun and safe time. But why not, every once in a while, take our straight friends into the Gay Village so we can all have a fabulous time together…
GAY MONTREAL: MAY
The month of May rhymes with Gay. Unfortunately, this prohibits me from creating a clever portmanteau such as last month’s hit “Gaypril”. Whatever April, May is sunny and beautiful so we don’t need to port any sort of manteau. Anyways, here are ways you can maximize your five gay senses in Montreal this May…
LESBIAN MONTREAL: MAY
Oh those May flowers! Lesbian Montreal has got the baddest to the freshest to the rocking-rollingest this month, as showers clear and winds get balmier…
BIXI TOUR OF GAY VILLAGE, MONTREAL
With spring finally ours (thanks mother nature!), it means that Bixi is also becoming a daily activity of Montreal locals. Bixi is the public bike system phenomenon that has swept Montreal off their feet and onto the many (500!) kilometers of paths. I’ll show you my favourite ride starting in the Old Port and going right through Montreal’s Gay Village…
