It’s that time of the year again. :) Time for pride without prejudice.
So who’s going, who’s watching and who’s going to celebrate?
I’ll be doing two out of three. :)
Are they live-streaming it this year?
Watching.
Might suffer through a Daquiri with a little umbrella as a show of solidarity.

Are you on the swannies float, woodie?

Not this year. They’re having a float, yes. They wanted $180 from each participant.
+ $190 for a party ticket, + air fare + drinkies and tucker + “accoutrements” would make it quite an expensive evening.

We’ll see you on it anyway, in our mind’s eye.

Haven’t asked Missy. As a parent one doesn’t, you know. Anyway, all of her best friends are transgender these days, so cannot participate ?

We’ll probably watch for the Gogglebox type potential.

Molly, anyone can participate in Mardi Gras. You could, if you wished. Particularity LGBTQI and the rest of the alphabet. Not too sure where the idea that transgender “cannot participate” came from.

Me, that’s why I added the question mark. Have never seen a float marked trans at the Mardi-Gras, but then have never looked.

Not many of them are marked with anything LGBTQI rest of alphabet.
You all have a fabby night now. :)
Bop along in your own loungeroom if you wish. Do something special, or just be entertained by the passing parade. :)
Try SBS On-demand tonight for ALL of it, or SBS tomorrow night for the “abridged” version.

LOL
I think we might go with the edited version. Sometimes the hosts get a bit overwrought.

Even New Zealand is allowed, Molly.
Missy knows one of the organisers, but none of the marchers.
Don’t know what’s happening with the live stream. Page is saying it won’t be available until tomorrow night, but the parade is tonight.

Gays are always late.
Well that’s misleading advertising, with bells on. Why call it a live stream if it’s not live?
Seems they genuinely are not showing the “live stream” until tomorrow :(

They probably need to edit out the rude bits.

So why tell people it’s “live”?
In previous years their live coverage really was live.
Took me a while to find a good one.
This is the better of the live feeds.

Ta, at least that one is showing something.

Woolies checkout people going through now.
Keeps stopping and starting for me and is pretty crappy resolution most of the time, so I think I’ll abandon the live stream and watch tomorrow’s TV coverage which will have commentary etc.
AAAAARGGGHHHH There’s Kylie. :)
Well that’s fucked my night up completely hasn’t it.
Someone has “complained” to Facebook about my profile. Dare I say it’s because of this. It got shared by a Facebook “friend” in the US, who lives in redneck territory. Facebook have demanded I change my name and been given a week to do so, or show “just cause” not to. It’s all still out there I tells ya.
And no……. it is not a hoax.

“just cause” is to prove that is the name I go by and friends know me by.
I’ll sort it tomorrow.

I’ve known that as your “name” for years…
“What Facebook has done is create a system that forces compliance or isolation. And worst of all, it places the power with harassers—as if the Internet needed more of that.”
An interesting read.

There’s no such thing as a terrorist, hey. A “terrorist” is just someone who is royally pissed off.
They shouldn’t hassle anyone, that’s what the NSA is for.
