A friend of mine considered investing in one decades ago.
He wanted to call it the BeBopAlula Retirement Home for Friends of Dorothy, Diesel Dikes and Desperate Old Drag Queens.
After research he found most of the potential customers couldn't stand each other let alone live in a gated community of the like-minded because..well they simply
weren't like minded and were as diverse as the rest of society.
Then he dreaded the idea of a bunch of
LGBT with dementia living in one building !
## I can't see this getting off the ground. He just should be looking to providing more support for the elderly to stay in their own homes which is what most people want.
## The pic below is from the
Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. It happens again this Saturday but rather than snake up Oxford Street (which once had about 20 gay bars, hotels & nightclubs on it- all now vanished) it's in a nearby arena , the Sydney cricket Ground. Sounds horrendous..paying to watch some tacky old float pass by with a bunch of screeching queens on exstasy. It's always been fun trashy but on the street it worked.
### crowds of about 500,000 used to line Oxford Street for the parade and oddly, 100,000s seemed to be Asian.
#### Political Correctness Strikes:
The Dykes on Bykes pic below..they used to be topless..about 100 dykes on Harleys. My lovely paparazzi pal who died a few years ago used to make a small fortune just from pics of topless dykes..enough to pay for a nice holiday every year back to Wales to see his family.Now they cover up.
##### I used to do quite well with my Box Brownie when I covered a few of the Mardi Gras and seemed to find Slebs no-one else did..the 2 Men Behaving Badly actors, Billy Connolly, Rupert Everett etc..naturally I posed them bunches of drag queens and the UK tabloids loved it.
