  Gay Pride parades are annual arenas of queer public culture, where embodied notions of subjectivity are debated. Ranging from Sydney to Rome, this title analyzes the paradoxes of gay pride parades as tourist events, exploring how the public display of queer bodies is important in constructing sexualized subjectivities of bodies and cities.
