Not all the high-tech proactive crowd management decision making in the world could safeguard the Sodomy Parade from Lidia Thorpe and prevent her efforts to upstage the pride events of Feb 25. Lidia was forcibly removed from the Parade by police for laying down in front of a float in a lewd position.

She used the occasion of her removal to culturally appropriate the ‘pride’ label from the Sodoms for ‘The Voice’.

As one might imagine, this did not gel with any of the creative pronouns or unicorn genders marching in the parade.
Out of the parade, she took to Twitter: “Black and Brown women started the first pride march …” Where is Albo when you need him?
