i wonder if they ever asked Matt Cecchin if he'd like to go on it seeing he came out a few years ago

 

[betcats]

Well the by the sound of it the lifestyle he leads he can thank them for the mardi gras as it lead to gay public acceptance and celebration of their rights over 30 years ago. So to say he is outright against it is a bit over the top.

No one said he is against it, I'm just saying not everyone is into dressing up and partying and all that so it might not be his thing. That wouldn't mean he had a problem with the Mardi Gras.

Roberts, Pearce, Monaghan and Gaz.. there is your RL float. You're welcome

 

[God-King Dean]

It's for a good cause for a lot of confused people

Hopefully they all get better some day

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Afl fans would boo gay footballers as 'uppity poofs'.

Good on the NRL I say. I know plenty of Queer as folk who love rl.

 

[Last Week]

I honestly expected more conservatives on here.

I also remember a fella writing an article one day with the headline "why I'm not proud to be gay" and it was to do with the only time he ever went to Mardi Gras and only saw it as an opportunity for blokes to see how many other blokes they could root

If I was gay that would sound like a good time...

Isn't it why most young men hit up clubs every weekend? To find a chick drunk enough?

But seriously, good initiative, glad the NRL is doing it.

Wayne doesn't want him on the float unfortunately but good choice IBM.

That's because Wayne will be there himself. Joined by Darius.

Really? This is where the money is going now?

I know they probably want to win a few swans fans over but what is this achieving other than a cynical VFL-style PR exercise to grab a couple of headlines and allow the NRL to tick another box on their diversity check list.

 

[Cletus]

It's a great idea but you'd hope they could get some current players up there if they do it again next year.

Chloe, isn't your husband going in it wearing a rainbow g-banger?

Sydney is known for being more cultured than the rest of the world and this is a great move

Do you ever not whinge mate?

I think the North Sydney Bears are missing s huge Mardi Gras opportunity. I'm picturing a float full of large hairy men in Bears jerseys and obscenely tight shorts, gyrating to this:

But seriously, great move by the NRL.

 

[simmo1]

Maybe get Willie Mason and Korbin Sims on one of the floats?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Is it gay if I go along to see some of my favourite footy players, but end up having unprotected sex with a bunch of dudes?

 

[nick87]

I cant imagine how that that could be misconstrued as gay

Its only gay if he enjoys it.

So predictable from the religious. We 'hate the sin but love the sinner' bulls##t. Unless you're joking God?
