People arriving in downtown Toronto for this week's gay pride festival - billed as the largest in the world - are being welcomed with a dizzying array of advertisements and product samples as companies try to target gay consumers.

Pride Toronto estimates the market for gay and lesbians as being worth more than $75 billion across the country.

"Our sponsors have realized gay consumers generally have a lot of disposable income and they are extremely loyal to brands that support them," says Fatima Amarshi, executive director of Pride Toronto. "They can be a powerful demographic if you do your marketing properly."
