They have been for years. They've been trying to get the "gay and lesbian" part of the name dropped and make it just Sydney Mardi Gras. They have been trying to take over the board for the past few years and now have 2 members on the 8 member board (Charlie Murphy and Alex Bouchet). This year they are holding a rebel "Mardi Gras March" on Saturday.

They actually had an announcement of their march a few hours ago (check out @PrideinProtest on facebook) and they were standing in front of a trans flag and they spoke about every far-left cause under the sun except gay and lesbian rights.

I can't imagine having to sit through board meetings with such insufferable narcissistic pricks. The amusing part is that if they managed to take over the board, the organisation would collapse within the year from all the pathetic in-fighting between the personality disordered members over who is more oppressed and of course their inability to fund the fucking thing.

Sounds very similar to what happened to Auckland Pride a few years back. This video lays out what happened there. It's not the best quality produced video but it clearly lays out how these take overs happen and how they destroy everything in their wake.
