It Gets Better!

This is the serious bit: every year many young gay and lesbian teenagers can’t imagine what their lives will be like as adults. Some of them despair about the future, and tragically, some give up hope. Our group is about showing people that there is hope; there can be a fabulous future and it gets better! Here are some statistics:

• 9 out of 10 LGBT students have experienced harassment at school.

• LGBT teens are bullied 2 to 3 times as much as straight teens.

• More than 1/3 of LGBT kids have attempted to commit suicide.

• LGBT kids are 4 times as likely to attempt suicide then our straight peers.

• LGBT youth with “highly rejecting” families are 8 times more likely to attempt suicide than those whose families accept them.

Why Glee?

Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that has been a huge hit in the past year. It focuses on the high school glee club “New Directions” competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationship, sexuality and social issues. It has a fabulous cast and has developed a tremendous following in the gay community.

It's All About Glee!

Since it began, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has always been about both protest and celebration. This year Dr Mark’s Marching Academy will be back for our ninth parade, and its all about Glee!
