From CBC North:

Hundreds of people attended an event over the weekend to show support for gays and lesbians in Nunavut.

The Pride and Friends of Pride picnic was held in Iqaluit to mark Gay Pride week and Nunavut’s Human Rights legislation which was passed last December.

Organizers say attendance has doubled for each of the past four years. This year, so many people showed up that they nearly ran out of meat for the barbecue.

…“It’s been a struggle, but I’m very proud of my fellow Nunavummiut that were with us during a difficult time in trying to get our human rights legislation which recognizes everyone’s rights,” said [Nunavut Premier Paul] Okalik.
