Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras

[andre459]

Tonight will be the 30th anniversary of the Sydney Mardi Gras. It has changed a fair bit over the years. It started in 1978 as a protest and rights march but has now essentially become a big pary night.
I don't think there is much exposure for the transgender community, obviously the main focus is on the gay and lesbian sides.


Anyone going or have been in the past?

a frind of mine was there a few years ago and saw a supposedly straight schoolfriend of ours dressed only in leather shorts and a dog collar, down on all fours being led around on a leash by his "master".

Small world!

Fred's been absent from here for a while, I'll bet that's what he's been up to...

Yes ,a party for pickpockets and other undesirables no doubt just like Notting Hill and all these other crime orientated events..
