Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of the largest gay events in the world, drawing crowds in the hundreds of thousands.
So naturally, it also attracts haters.
Because where there is fun, there will be people trying to ruin said fun. We’re pretty sure it’s one of Newton’s three laws.
But one antigay preacher douchebag was no match for Axel Winter and his rousing rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s immortal hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In the clip below, watch as the crowd cheers Alex on like a hero as he turns a potentially uncomfortable situation into the celebration that the day deserved to be.
“He was saying hateful things towards gay people themselves. He said at one point “today is the day that God hates you most,” he told Gay Star News.
That’s when Alex and his friends decided to set up their equipment right behind him.
He also changes one of the lyrics to “some boys take a beautiful boy and hide her away,” which the self-described straight singer says is a nod to the transgender community.
“In that line, I’m speaking of a man loving a transgender girl that is a boy,” he said.
Watch the clip below, and be sure to toss him some coinage if you see him out there:

I thought there may have been an exchange or confrontation between singer Axel Winter and the street preacher…but it looks like the preacher is still loudly belting out his hateful message uninterrupted throughout the entire song.

1. Religion = Poison, and 2. Hateful, stupid people are drawn into religion. There is no god, there was no Jesus, the gospels are a public works project by Ancient Rome to quell the rebellious jews and mirrors Titus’s conquest of Judea. It’s all fraudulent. Why listen to a hateful Dupe? Drown him instead.

@Sluggo2007: Australia was populated by those that England more or less FLUSHED down there, if you get my drift. Prostitutes, drunks, child molesters, rapists, thieves, robbers, pickpockets and yes, a parson or two in order to save their souls; now theres a good one. How/Why he (the parson/vicar) couldn’t do it back in England is beyond me but that is exactly what they did when they, the English, saw another land that they could overrun and take its resources but needed their own kind there to keep things in “order”.
