Mardi Gras
Hey, darlings…I went to this parade in the city on Saturday…At first when Ryan told me about this parade, I was like "Baby, you’ll be like a mountain standing in the crowd of small kids…Mothers would be afraid of you…" But then, I found out this parade wasn’t in the morning, or in the evening, it was at night, around 9…It was so late so that the younger folks cannot come out and speculate this "parade"…It was an all gay and lesbian parade!!! How cool was that….My first gay parade…So, a few of us (including my few homophobic friends) headed down to the city…It was packed…People were everywhere…Dressed up in all kinds of costumes…I even saw this pair of girls walking aound like Superman, with their panties outside their pants…Some were dressed up like naughty nurses..Some like policewomen..Some guys even dressed up like girls, with boobs and everything…My friend said that maybe it is a parade for all the weirdos..not just gays and lesbians…Then the parade started..I got quite a good view of it, cos there were large tvs and we were just standing in the second row..It was colourful, and full of festive cheer…Gays and lesbians were walking around, proud to be who the are for the night…They were dressed as all sorts of things…Some as angels (from the Gay and Lesbian Catholic Church) Some as bats(from the Lesbian Soccer Team) some as rugby players (from the Gay Rugby Team)…There was even this women who had her top off…And when I mean top, I mean shirt and bra off..Talk about obscence…No wonder they had to have it at night…There was this guy who was fully naked, only with a sock covering his "birdy"…hahaha…There was this gay couple whose anniversary was on that day, and they kissed in front of the tv…I was a bit shocked by the openess they had…But that was considered mild, compared to the other couples I saw making out in the streets after the parade…I saw this lesbian couple, in the corner making out very obviously…My homophobic friend had to control himself from puking….hahaha…Well, it certainly was a once in a life time experience..It is certainly some parade you don’t see everyday….hahaha…take care, darlings…
