I want WorldPride to come to Boston

WorldPride – organized by InterPride, promotes LGBT issues globally through parades, festivals and other cultural activities. The event is hosted every five years and the first celebration was held in Rome in 2000.  The second WorldPride was hosted in 2006 in Jerusalem followed by London in 2012 and now this year in Toronto.

I’d love to see Boston make a concerted bid to host a future WorldPride.  We have the history, the capacity and an organized LGBT community.  Does anyone know if Boston has ever stepped forward to bid on being  a host city?  I’ve included the Toronto bid video they submitted back in 2009 to host 2014 WorldPride; it would be fairly easy to make a more impressive video- I was underwhelmed by this submission considering how cool Toronto is.
