Adventures of Gay Boys

Tony Abbott - Ignorant Ass!

Take a good look at this face, this man is the Leader of the Opposition Party in Australian politics.

Later this year he potentially could be the leader of this country.

A week ago on 60 minutes this man said he felt "threatened by homosexuals"

Well Mr Abbott what the fuck are you on, why on earth should you feel threatened?

Have you personally had a threat from the GLBT community?

Has your family?

Do you think that if your too close to a gay person that you might become a homosexual?

MEANING of THREATENED

Threatened - Susceptible to attack!

"To utter threats against; to menace; to inspire with apprehension; to alarm, or attempt to alarm, as with the promise of something evil or disagreeable; to warn. [1913 Webster]"

You Mr Abbott are a piece of crap, thats right the stuff that comes out of one's ass!

Except for the last election I have always voted for your party, never again, and lets face it you won't be getting a gay vote now, after all we don't want the leader of this country running scared of the GLBT community do we.

I suggest Mr Abbott you take a good look at yourself, ask yourself this question?

"Would you still feel this way if one of your daughters were gay?" Would you feel threatened by her?

I wish your daughter was gay just so you knew what parents and their children go through, the constant battles they face by stupid ignorant asses like yourself!

So many community groups work so hard to break down barriers and to reduce hate crime on the streets around this country, then ignorant pieces of crap like yourself undo their hard work by making stupid comments on national television.

Well done!

Sydney Mardi Gras Parade 2010

AUSTRALIA. Sydney

On Saturday night Sydney's gay strip Oxford St once again came alive with almost 10,000 participants including myself, my partner and two of my closest friends marching in the 33rd GLBT Parade.

Transsexual identity Amanda Lepore was the parade chief, leading 135 floats in a History of the World-themed cavalcade.

It was the most amazing experience, one just has to march to feel the natural rush with over 300,000 spectators lining the 2.4km parade route.

This year for the first time the parade finished at the Entertainment Quarter (Fox Studios) where a Carnival party was awaiting.

The day started with a beautiful blue sky and finished with a full moon and clear night.

The dikes on bikes traditionally always start the parade and get the crowd screaming as they rev their bikes and thunder up the street.

Australia is known for it's beautiful bronzed Aussie life savers and yet again they did us proud!

Prior to the parade commencing I was able to run around and take a few photo's of the preparations, these are a few I have selected.

Its rehearsal time!

THE HAIRY END!

Kelly Rowland for Sydney Mardi Gras Party

AUSTRALIA, Sydney: The New Mardi Gras organizers traditionally like to release it's DJ's and its guest performers slowly to create excitement as we get closer to the biggest weekend on the GLBT calendar in Australia.

What we do know is the following, DJ's performing include; David Guetta, Bimbo Jones, Carl Cox, Dusty Kid, Alan Thompson and local Scott Pullen.

What we don't know is who is performing on stage in the RHI Hall, until a few days ago when Sydney GLBT website SX published that Kelly Roland will be performing at this years Party.

"The singer, whose latest hit ‘When Love Takes Over’ (with French DJ David Guetta) was a global # 1 smash, will be performing at this year’s Mardi Gras Party at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park on Saturday, March 6, her official website – www.kellyrowland.com – has revealed."

Though when I accessed her website today no mention of her performing Down Under was present.

Mardi Gras organizers when contacted did not wish to confirm nor deny, but is the cat out of the bag!

I believe like last year it has slipped out before New Mardi Gras organizers wished and Kelly Roland was asked to remove it from her website.

The  same thing occurred last year also.

So who else will perform I ask? Lady Gaga will not be in Australia but George Michael will be! We can only hope.

Happy New Year to all!

I wish you my readers a happy and prosperous new year, hoping that it brings you more joy than 2009. Play hard but play safe!

Wales rugby legend Gareth Thomas in 'absolute despair' over gay admission

WALES rugby union legend Gareth Thomas has announced that he is gay in an interview in Saturday's Daily Mail newspaper.

The Cardiff Blues full-back, 35, said he had been through “absolute despair” and did not want to be known simply as a “gay rugby player”.

The former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain is Wales' most capped player and ninth in the all-time Test try scoring list.

“I've been through all sorts of emotions with this, tears, anger and absolute despair,” he said.

“I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to let people know and, to be honest, I feel anxious about people's reactions and the effect it might have on my family.”

He added: “I don't want to be known as a gay rugby player. I am a rugby player first and foremost.

“I am a man. I just happen to be gay. It's irrelevant. What I choose to do when I close the door at home has nothing to do with what I have achieved in rugby.”

Say Cheese at Bondi Beach

Sydney, Australia.

Over 100 dancers surprised tourists and locals at Bondi Beach with a Flash Mob on Sat Nov 14th 2009, led by one of Australia's most famous & delicious drag queens - Joyce Maynge.

New Mardi Gras release statement to NMG members

SYDNEY, Australia

A survey was sent to all NMG members after sleazeball,it comes as no surprise. Both on the night and in the days that followed the party a major focus of the feedback we received was about the policing of the event, the presence of sniffer dogs on the dance floors and what many of you felt were quite arbitrary searches of our patrons.

Over and over you told us that you felt the police presence was an “invasion of privacy”, “intimidating”, “intrusive” and “over the top”. Your comments make clear that many of you are angry, not only as attendees of our parties, but also as Australian citizens who feel their rights are being eroded and as taxpayers who feel they are witnessing a misallocation of police resources.

You raised particular concerns about the Police conducting searches in very public areas, conducting searches without a reasonable level of suspicion and violating the privacy of the medical area. Such behaviour does not accord with the protocols agreed between New Mardi Gras and Police NSW.

More broadly it is clear that the Police’s increased presence both outside and inside the party is having a major impact on our audience’s enjoyment of this and other events. We make every effort at our parties to create a fantasy world, a place for people to relax and have fun. To have sombre-faced officers in reflective clothing roaming around the dance floor with sniffer dogs clearly makes our task much more difficult.

This is a major issue for New Mardi Gras. Sleaze Ball – like Mardi Gras Party and the Mardi Gras harbour party – are fundraising events for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. Any impact on ticket sales to these events has a very direct impact on our ability to sustain the Parade, the Mardi Gras Season and organisation as a whole.

Over-zealous policing has the potential to undermine one of the key events in the NSW calendar and one that brings in an estimated $30 million new dollars into the state through overseas and interstate visitation each and every year.

Because of this we intend to initiate a number of initiatives to seek more proportionate policing in the future, whilst reaffirming our zero tolerance to intoxication, substance use or other illegal activities.

We will be raising our concerns in a number of quarters, with our senior police contacts, with the Office of the Lord Mayor, with Events NSW and the Premiers Department representatives we liaise with as a NSW Hallmark event. We will also ask our members and patrons to share their views and experiences with those bodies and their members of parliament.

We have already commenced discussions with community health, legal and rights bodies and we will work with them closely to form a united community front on this issue and instigate additional programs to assure the highest levels of safety and protection for our community at our events.

We will establish a program to ensure our rights are well understood and respected, and we will endeavour to provide volunteers with legal expertise at our events to ensure that members and guests are fully aware of their rights if confronted with intimidating or over-zealous handling by police.

We will also raise the bigger question about the cost and benefit of operations like this. Was the commitment of taxpayer dollars to enforcement at Sleaze Ball worth the 18 minor personal possession offences reportedly recorded?

The Police themselves came out last week to say that Sleaze Ball “was probably the highlight of the night, where behaviour was concerned.” We will be asking the Police to match this behaviour with less intrusive police operations based on the presumption of innocence of our patrons and a respect for our rights and for published protocols.

Sleaze Ball Sydney

SYDNEY, Australia

Over the weekend Sydney held it's annual Sleaze Ball the theme this year was "Game On" and by all accounts it was awesome, a major improvement on last years party. My partner and I chose not to attend after last years disappointment.

Thousands packed into the two venue's, Horden Pavilion and the Dome at Sydney's Entertainment Quarter (Fox Studios).  It may have been raining cats and dogs outside but it was raining men inside.

David Guetta For Sydney Mardi Gras?? We hope!

Rumour has it that French house auteur David Guetta is to be one of the headlining DJs at Mardi Gras Party 2010.

You could say (with a sense of the understatement) that Guetta is getting his fair share of attention at the moment, having massive crossover success with his new album One Love and his smash hit When Love Takes Over with ex-Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland.

During recent interviews on commercial radio Guetta let it slip that he’ll be fronting up for headline duties at next year’s Future Music Festival tour. Earlier this year Mardi Gras shared Paul Oakenfold with Future Music Festival, will Guetta be shared across the two events next year? And will he be bringing Kelly Rowland with him?

“I can neither confirm or deny that,” said Damien Eames, Head of Marketing at New Mardi Gras.
