Kinksters descended on Toronto's gaybourhood on Aug 15 for the seventh annual Church Street Fetish Fair.
Bar patios extended onto the street, which was closed from Alexander to Gloucester. Community info booths and vendors lined the strip. Three entertainment stages were bustling throughout the day, with drag shows, music, burlesque and fetish demonstrations.
David Wootton, manager of the Church Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area (CWVBIA), which holds the annual fetish event, says the festival is about sexual expression and celebrating differences.
"The fair has a political agenda,"
Wootton told
Xtra
in July
. “It does brand this neighbourhood — it keeps the sex in the Village. We need to keep a certain amount of that so that members of the global community know we still identify with sexual freedom and sexual practice."

" ----Really, then why are proceeds benefiting the HIV Legal CLINIC HALCO which supports the criminalization of HIV? ---I'm not buying what you're selling. --- I would never attend an event that allows such anti-sex, anti-gay poltical infestations to creep into the sex community.--- http://www.xtra.ca/public/Toronto/Time_to_stand_against_the_criminalization_of_HIV-7529.aspx
