The absolute fucked up takes I'm seeing from white gays about Pride In Protest being kicked from Mardi Gras, and the two PrideInProtest people who were booted from the Mardi Gras board for supporting Palestinian revolution isn't surprising me, but it IS disgusting me.
I literally just had some guy tell me that "genocide seems pretty neutral to me [because Palestinians are anti-gay*]".

Glitter, rainbows and gummi bears: #SydneyMardiGras parade 2026 – in pictures https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/ng-interactive/2026/feb/28/glitter-rainbows-gummi-bears-sydney-mardi-gras-parade-2026-in-pictures?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other&utm_medium=d_social
“This is the same board that says it is unfair to encourage floats to support trans rights as that would be an ‘imposition,’ but is now demanding to control the social media of organisations who march in the parade." - Pride in Protest spokesperson Evan van Zijl
https://qnews.com.au/pride-in-protest-banned-from-marching-in-mardi-gras-parade
I am just reading that Sydney Mardi Gras CEO Jesse Matheson has expelled Pride in Protest from the parade.
The issue stems from the group criticising another group for not being anti-genocide. They Pride in Protest claims the other group is actually pro-genocide.
This apparently all popped off late yesterday.
Just another reason for me to not want to participate or celebrate Mardi Gras.

The SMH is looking very glam for Mardi Gras.
In Sydney for Mardi Gras! So excited!!

Yesterday I marched again in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade with Trans Pride Australia and then went to the Dykes on Bikes Sydney after party.

For Mardi Gras I'll be flying back to Sydney.
If anyone sits near me it's because they're homophobic.

Been in marshalling for nearly 2 hours... 3 more to go lol. Nice festive atmosphere in here as always.
In these times, when hatred seems to be on the rise, what could be more precious than gathering together with people from across the religious divides to celebrate the universal power of love.
Gently reflect on the universal power of the love to find the courage to love and be loved in all its manifestations.
An interfaith evening of open discussion, stories, poetry and music.

Take a little time to gently reflect on the universal power of the love in your own heart to find the courage to love and be loved in all its manifestations.
An interfaith evening of open discussion, stories, poetry and music, as part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
Speakers include:
Nur Warsame: Warsame was born in Somalia and moved to Australia as a high school student. In 2010 he came out as Australia’s first gay imam. He is a hafiz, ie one who has memorised the Quran. Since 2014 he has run an LGBT support group Marhava (which means welcome in Arabic).
Hugo Ditroia: Hugo is an active member of Acceptance Sydney a LGBTQIA+ Catholic community, based at St Joseph’s Parish in Newtown. In 2020, Hugo completed his Bachelor of Theology and Philosophy, with majors in New Testament and Spirituality. His passion for Church history, theology, scripture, and spirituality—particularly in the context of identity—drives his ongoing journey of study and exploration. Over the past few years, Hugo has focused his research on how scripture, theology, and spirituality intersect with the experiences of marginalized communities, in particular the LGBTQIA+ community.

Another example of what should be leftist communities shifting further right.

"Nguyen said he believed the outcome of Saturday’s votes was a result of the Rainbow Labor campaign.
“The police were only saved by an intervention from the NSW Government, which has campaigned in the media,” he said."

In case you missed seeing our Trans Pride Australia contingent in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, here's the coverage that was on broadcast on ABCTV. (44secs)

Pretty cool to have friends across Australia let me know they saw me on TV or from the crowd at Sydney Mardi Gras tonight.
Have spent the last couple of hours at the Dykes on Bikes After Party.
Six photos, one video.

Congrats to ABC TV for their *massively improved* broadcast of #SydneyMardiGras. Much slicker, much more informed, and just generally less amateur than it has been in previous years.
I am livid that the NSW police are being allowed to march in the Mardi Gras parade after everything that's happened. Grow a spine, organisers.

This time tomorrow a friend and I will be checking into our accommodation for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
We're marching with Trans Pride Australia. We're float number 5 this year, so shouldn't be a chore to spot us!
Among the things that TPA runs is Friday Night Social, a weekly video chat with participants from across Australia. It's overseen & hosted by blahaj zone's admins @ada & @supakaity . I'm also a regular host, and some of our BZ🦈 community are regular participants.
The parade is being televised in Australia on ABCTV and ABC iview (you can watch from overseas through a IPTV service or use a VPN to access iview). The coverage starts at 7:30pm AEDT [Saturday 8:30am London, 12:30am San Fran, 3:30am NYC].
Go to https://iview.abc.net.au/ to watch the Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras 2024 in iview (you'll need to register).

I'm expecting to hear a lot of Romy on the #mardigras coverage & I'm ok with that.
#sydneymardigras
And before you knew it, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras board had reversed the decision to disallow cops to march. The amount of 🥾👅 white queers, trans, & allies outraged online at their exclusion has been thoroughly demoralising.
I'm torn about my own participation this Saturday. I have been looking forward to marching with Trans Pride Australia before I move away from Sydney this year. And frankly the numbers of trans folk who seemingly have little to no commitment to intersectional justice is staggeringly disturbing.
I'm so angry with the cashed up & middle class queer that are simping for the actors of state violence.

One of tonight's boat rules is "Consent is hot!" I've taken my PrEP on demand just in case I need to consent a bit. Wish me luck, queers!

I'm looking forward to spending 4 hours this evening with some friends onboard a three-level party boat in Sydney Harbour. We're attending the Hot Trans Summer event that's part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Still in shock that the #SydneyMardiGras fair day this weekend has been cancelled because of this ongoing asbestos debacle.
