As I was shaking the Mardi Gras glitter out of my jockstrap the other day ( still) a little thought sparkled in my mind.

These 12 TED talks celebrate the brave, the curious, the adventurous, the change makers, the everyday lives and the stories of LGBTI people all over the globe.

Be proud, be strong, look after yourself, look after your mates, look after the community and have a happy Mardi Gras!

To stop people in their tracks with something so powerful, so meaningful and so human, that it leaves you breathless. That is TEDxSydney

You wouldn’t think it would be hard to breathe life into dreams of drag queens from space or legendary women singing Sondheim.

A true story of why it’s important to never take yourself too seriously. It’s always better to get in first and be laughed with than at.
