In case you're serious, the Gay Games is modeled on the Olympics, but for gay people. It's a sports competition.
I don't know why but Sydney's role as a major venue for gay parades etc is better known overseas, more celebrated overseas, than it is here.
The Mardi Gras is one of the biggest events in Australia and a huge tourist draw, yet it's just not talked about much ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Thank you. No I'm being serious because back then there was no advertising there was no nothing except for that one sign on the wall. The hotel staff had no idea what it was about. There was nothing to indicate that it had to do with sport. There was just nothing and I haven't heard of it since.
