Syndney breaks records with gay Mardi Gras parade
Only contributing to my theory that 2007 is the year of the gay, homos in Syndney flocked to the streets this weekend for their gay Mardi Gras celebration.
According to Reuters, this year's parade was the biggest on record with around 8,000 participants marching down Oxford Street. Similar to New York City's lavish gay pride festivities in June, the march calls for greater equality and celebrating the gay and lesbian community in all aspects of society.
Today, the city cleans up all of the glitter and beads as it returns to it's "straight laced" work week on Monday.
The photo here is only one of the hundreds of Kylie Minogue impersonators who participated in the parade. Minogue is not only an international gay icon, but also an Australian native.

HI,
I just wanted to say this year was my first year being in the parade. My partner and i were part of Dykes on Bikes and it was just unbelievable. I have never experienced anything like it in my whole life. From beginging to end i felt like i was in a whole other world. We'll be back next year definately. I also wanted to ask if anyone would know of anyone that would be interested in some photo's. I took many of the parade and during and also of the After PArty at Fox Studios. Fortunately i had my phone with me for photo's and i have taken some pretty far out shots, when i put them on computer i nearlly blew myself away. The shots of the parade are with my camera though and they are awesome too. I would really like for them to be seen. Please forward me any info that may be able to help me. Cheers
