Our Favorite Canadians
+ Billboard magazine sent a photographer to follow Tegan & Sara around last weekend as they attended and performed at NYC Pride and of course this journey eventually led them to the greatest place on earth: our party! That’s right; my favorite band and quite possibly yours too made a surprise appearance at the Everyone Is Gay / Autostraddle Pride Party at Housing Works Bookstore and everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.

A wonderful time was had by all:
remember when tegan and sara surprised everyone at the @everyoneisgay pride party and talked about how much they love autostraddle I DO
