You'd think with Pride, the Outgames and the Queer Arts Festival all happening this week, choosing our must sees and dos would be easy. Well, you'd be wrong. With so much going on this is one of the hardest weeks for our picks, but we're going to do our best. Here are our gay choices for the week of July 25 - 31, 2011. Of course, you'll want to check our Events Calendar for details of all the latest happenings around the city. You can also get our daily events feed directly on your iGoogle homepage! Got an event? Send us the details and we'll get it added to our calendar (and maybe see it listed here in the coming weeks). monday, 25 july: vancouver pride & outgames launchThe stars so rarely align with two huge events happening at the same time in our city that we couldn't pass up on this opportunity. Vancouver Pride and the 2011 Vancouver Outgames come together from Noon to 1pm on the steps of City Hall including the reading of the Pride Proclamation in Council Chambers along with a raising of the rainbow flag and a barbecue and entertainment on the lawn at City Hall.
