Nine thousand people have marched in this year's Sydney Pride parade, the largest in Australia. Hundreds of thousands lined the street to cheer them on. This year's theme was "History of the World" and scores of dancers were dressed as famous identities from the pages of history. Being the 32nd annual parade, it had taken on a specifically political flavour this year after same sex marriage legislation was voted down in the Senate yesterday...But the mood has not been dampened; celebrations continued well into the night.
Okay, I really don't see what the problem is with letting same sex people marry. Oh, wait, I do! So-called do-gooders who have no lives or no understanding who feel it's their God given right to interfere in the lives of other people. That's what it boils down to. Why should someone tell someone else who they can or cannot love?
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
Mark
