OK, somebody can wrap up the guy in the rainbow braces and send him to my place.  ;D

Or his buddy (in the lower right corner of the photograph) would be an acceptable substitute. ...  ;D

I'm sure you made a very dashing gaucho, Brian. Students attend and everyone else for that matter. All are welcome. Though most of the participants (approx. 9,000 this year) are probably GLBIT, I would venture to say that many of the spectators (estimated at approx. 300,000) are not. Straight Sydney love  their gay Mardi Gras! It's one of the most appealing things I find about Mardi Gras. It's sparkling, joyous, colourful and completely fabulous, as well as being a tiny tad risque and satirical, but it's never flagrantly vulgar or coarse (well, maybe a little bit!). For that reason, it's not at all unusual to see family groups in attendance - young couples with their small children, either in their party frocks or pyjamas (the children, not the parents!). It's an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS experience for everyone.  :D
