Protesting against oppression by cops because the killer in a gay love triangle happened to be a cop. :marseyyes:

I'm not sure the Mardi Gras parade is the right time and place. It's meant to be for LGBTIQA+, it started as a protest for their rights

I thought it was a Catholic thing. :marseysipping:

In Australia, the Catholic Mardi Gras isn't really a thing.

The parade in the article refers to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which originated as a gay rights protest in the 1970s.

It has nothing to do with the international carnival Mardi Gras, except borrowing the name.

Thanks. Just marking down another reason as to why Australia is gay and lame.

If the war is still going in June, all kinds of Pride Month shit is going to be taken over by Pro-Palestinian buttholes. This is a libshitb problem across the West.

In the 1970s with Anton Levay's "Satanists" and the black mass etc. around this had to have been intended in that sense, an offensive mockery of Catholic ritual. Intended to be offensive to get attention.

That's not the case here. The people who named the Sydney Mardis Gras stumbled across the term as a kind of synonym for a celebration. They wanted their gay rights event to be a positive experience rather than angry resistance.

After that, the name stuck.

As a veteran myself of the war for cute twink rights (albeit at the end when it was much much safer) I don't buy it. You couldn't seriously claim to be going out in the streets in the '70s and just celebrating and being happy about being gay. Homos in the right environment could be totally open to everyone they knew in their private life (Hollywood for example). The parade stuff going public was meant to be deliberately provocative.

Especially in Australia which was way more socially conservative than America until recently.

Yes I should definately believe some rando contrarian non-Australian dramatard over the bloke who started it all in Sydney in 1978.

Kid, when you're older you'll learn how to dodge the age question.

Like Australia geographically, this is an example of Satanic inversion.
