Mardi Gras ‘07 breaks records in dazzling style
March 6th, 2007
Around 80 Greens joined a record 8,000 marchers in the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras last Saturday night.
As usual it was a fabulous night marked by huge crowds in party mode enjoying a pervading spirit of tolerance and friendliness. It’s the one night of the year where not only participants but also many of the crowd shed their inhibitions and wear ANYTHING they like with spectacular results.
The Greens’ float echoed many others in the parade with its theme of “Full equality - No excuses”, a particular reference to the continuing discrimination against same-sex couples who wish to marry.
Elected Greens strutting their stuff included MLCs Lee Rhiannon and Sylvia Hale, Senator Kerry Nettle, Fiona Byrne and Chris Harris along with upper house candidate John Kaye and candidates from several seats in Sydney.
