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.

I want to rewatch it but I remember it being so tied to specific things that A Current Affair had done that I don't know if it would hold up.

I'm sure it's not as good now but still one of the best shows ever. A lot of it is really timeless. Journos never change.

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