Sydney GAY AND LESBIAN Mardi Gras

Trans: "This should be all about me."

Saturday’s vote followed a contentious annual meeting in November, when members voted to pass a resolution to encourage all Mardi Gras “parade participants to make support for transgender rights a key part of their float”.

The board decided against implementing members’ wishes because it “sought to impose creative direction on parade participants in a way that is inconsistent with our established application process”, among other reasons.

Completely fair.

Pride in Protest, in response, accused the organisation of being transphobic and put the resolution to a vote once again on Saturday.

Of course they did.

In February, Pride in Protest’s float was kicked out of the Mardi Gras parade, less than 24 hours before the event, after claiming that a Jewish float supported genocide.
