It was an afternoon of much fun and frivolity, and very much a pleasure to take part in. Not often you get to chant protests at catholics as they look right at you. Some of my pics. In the first one is the famous drag queen Vanessa Wagner:

The ugly face of intolerance
Saw someone the other day with one of those dreadful World Youth Day backpacks. Ugh. I went to the protest against it. Quite a number turned up, rather a lot from the gay and lesbian community which the Catholic Church of course sees as the arch enemy. We were able to stand next to their route as they slowly walked to the stadium to see the Pope. Chants included "The Pope is wrong, put a condom on", complete with blown up condoms designed to be a visual affront to the Pope stupid ideas. One of the dear catholic pilgrims, full of love for all humanity being the Christian catholics are, was arrested after punching one of the members of the protest.
