We have just added a bunch of photos from our very first Victorian Pride march. While we have marched in our yellow t-shirt uniforms at a few events and rallies, it was our first team effort. See all the photos here: Pride gallery

We had about 20 people at the beginning and about 30 by the end of the march.

The Greens, ALP and the Liberals all marched but I think we can safely say that we were the brightest and certainly the loudest. We carried placards outlining out policies and had a few very cute blow up hearts for the minors in our troop. One of our favourite placards was “Keep Religion Out of Politics” and we certainly got a great response from the 40,000 plus spectators.

I heard from one of the Liberal party marchers that they even got booed along the way. We had many people from the crowd yelling SEX at us and in a nice way!

We marshaled about 2 hours before we actually started marching and it was a pretty hot day to be hanging around. At the end of the march even the moisture of the temporary tattoos was welcome relief. Fortunately we also had a few large eskies on our stand with refreshments that saw us through the afternoon.

We talked to a wide range of people and tattooed many of them. I even got to sign one woman's back and write "even adults have small tits" which she had censored with gaffa tape. We finished up at around 8pm and headed off for a well-earned dinner and a few drinks.

Thank you to everyone who helped made the day such success and so much fun. I am already looking forward to the next march. We have big plans!

But before that we are planning our inaugural Sydney Mardi Gras Fair Day Sunday 21 Feb. If you would like to donate a couple of hours of your Sunday please get in touch This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
