U.S. Consulate-General Celebrates Same-sex Marriage Legalization Pride

Rather surprisingly, the United States Consulate-General in Toronto is celebrating the Supreme Court of America ruling to legalize same-sex marriage with this huge rainbow flag.

 

360 University Avenue, Toronto

Seeing this reminds me of a fun story. A good friend of mine lives and works on the University Avenue in Toronto seen here. He often encounters people asking for direction to the American Embassy.

 

Lost strangers: "Excuse me, can you tell me how I can get to the American Embassy?"

 

My friend, with his eyebrows drawn together: "The American Embassy? OH, the AMERICAN EMBASSY! Oh, that is very far from here, it's in Ottawa, you've to go to the airport and take a 50-minute flight to Ottawa first..."

 

Lost strangers: "No, nooooo, OK, not the embassy, that other thing... you know?? Ohhh, what is it called? The one in Toronto..."

 

My friend: "OH, You meant the American Consulate-General... see that building there across the street, it's that one."

 

*** An embassy can only exist in a capital city, and Toronto is NOT the capital city of Canada.
