In a historic first, PrideHouse Toronto programmed a 1.5km leg of the relay which will finish in Glasgow. Leaders from the Pride House Glasgow organizing team are expected to carry the baton during its final days in Glasgow. LGBTQ rights are expected to be at the centre of the Commonwealth Games with Pride House Glasgow leading the way. Homosexual activity remains a criminal offence in 40 of the 53 Commonwealth states.
