The Gay Thread

The Sydney Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, Seeking & Othered Mardi Gras started it's life simply as: The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. I've been in it several times, but I've never been to Lesbos. (yet)

I wonder if Lesbos has an award for "Lesbian Of The Year" ?

Oh, and a lot of queer folk here now refer to themselves as "Queer" as an inclusive term rather than GLBT. I like it because it strips the power of it being a derogatory slur.

See, I like that approach.
