First of all an important introduction: i didn’t change my sexual orientation, I’m still heterosexual!
Told that, I’m telling you about the “Mardi Gras”, one of the most important event in the year in Sydney!
Mardi Gras is nothing else than the gay-lesbian parade! But it’s not like a “gay pride” day we see in Italy or in any westerner country, it’s something much more funny! It’s like a carnival parade (for that is called “Mardi Gras”) with gay/lesbian people dancing and parading with any kind of dressing-up, and someone almost totally naked as well... Gays/lesbians from all over Australia and some ones from other countries (i.e. the USA) as well just come to parade in this occasion!
And a lot of people come and see the “party”! The news talked about an audience of more or less half million people!
I’d never have thought to go and see a gay parade “life” one day! I admit I’m quite a conservative person and i’ve been not always fully tolerant about that topic...
but i have to recognize that this parade is a funny and “intelligent” way to make the gay/lesbian matter more familiar and “acceptable” to the other heterosexual people!
Maybe i’ll never see something like that in Italy! We’re not such a tolerant country at all! And i don’t mean only owing to the Church and the Pope, that never would accept such an event!
Even not to let the Pope to talk in a university is a sign of a retrogade and intolerant country!
The parade was 2 hours and half long, so you can guess how many people took part in it!
The “strangest” thing of the evening was the weather: quite cold to be in a summer day!
