Hmmmmm. OK. So we can antiipate seeing a gay & lesbian stall then?
However, you have still not answered my very original question.
The Accy carnival has a history going back to the 1920's, and in turn this is based upon the old, street walking festivals. Over the years, it has been done by several local organistions with contribution of many small buisnesses. It has raised an awful lot of money for charity, yet has received minimal public funding. Yet the mele gets large public funding.
Why?
