In other news, the Shrine of Remembrance has been painted neon rainbow.
- Might as well just hold the next mardi-gras there and erect a statue of two blokes making out.
Or better still a gay man and a trans woman with dysentery in the trenches making out.
What the hell is it with debauching every aspect of society with poof celebrations anyhow..
Maybe we should rename it the Shrine of Homosexuality.

The tears of angry bigots are my oxygen.

There is no such thing as gay sex. No sex is more debauched than any other if it involves consenting adults.

Melbourne's Shrine of Rememberance has cancelled plans to
illuminate the site in rainbow colours to mark the
opening of an exhibition about those LGBTQI people who
served in the armed forces and lost their lives.

The Exhibition is called "Defending With Pride."

The Exhibition and a Last Post Service will still go ahead
from Sunday. However the Rainbow Lighting will not

BTW: Just a reminder that the Sydney Opera House
is often lit up with various colours - depending
on the occasion and event. And its become perfectly
acceptable in Sydney to do so

The shrine is boomer Disneyland so this does not shock me. It seems we need to wait for the boomers to depart before we can be a society....

I forgot to add that the Sydney Opera House's sails were lit
up in a shimmering rainbow when the passing of marriage equality
into law happened. Plus they did the same in celebrating
Mardi Gras with the Opera House for the first time.

Melbourne will eventually catch up to Sydney. The exhibition
and the Last Post Service is a beginning.
