Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Saved!

After a frantic and difficult two months the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has been officially saved and will continue. At a meeting of creditors last week all but one voted to agree to the sale of the existing assets to a new organisation funded by Pride and ACON (New Mardi Gras).

Not suprisingly the only crditor to vote against the plan which will see only the employees entitelements saved was the Australian Taxation department. So the parade will go on as the public side of Mardi Gras, but on the otehr side they will coninue to do the behnd the scenes lobbying and support for the gay and lesbian community!

School Boys in Nude Romp

The Full Monty was not on the bill at Roseville Cinemas but that is what movie patrons saw when 40 naked schoolboys romped through recently during an end-of-year prank.

Year 12 students from Barker College at Hornsby have been blamed but the school is unable to confirm or deny their involvement because it is locked in a legal wrangle with the cinema.

The co-owner of the cinema, Lisa van Pinxteren, said she referred the incident to her lawyers because Barker "had done nothing".

"We had groups of boys coming in at different stages, undressed or undressing, and asking to buy tickets. It was part of their treasure hunt," she said.

"The reason we're so upset is because we've built up a reputation for this place being secure and safe. Having nude boys in the foyer is really not what we want."
