I truly hope everyone gets to experience the euphoria pride brings at some point! Until that day, you can always tag along with me (and mum!) Thank you to Wear It Purple for having us march with you! 💜
I honestly started to tear up, seeing how many people were there. Even people we’re watching from their apartments, or had pride flags out. The dad hugs! That’s awesome! If you are closeted, these people will be your family gladly.😊
There is so much to take in during the march that I can’t even process how many people are there, it’s sooooo many. And the walk itself lasts for so long. Watching back to edit was such a heartwarming task, seeing how much support there is :’)
Thank you so much for taking us with you and your mum to the mardi gras, it was so nice to see how much your parents support you as a lesbian to the point of going to the mardi gras as your plus 1.
@@laurenelloise my pleasure, it feels like I'm living the life I want to live through you and your videos as I'm bi and haven't come out to anyone until now to you
GUYS!!!!!! My sister just asked me if I want to go to pride tomorrow!!!!! She said if I go with her into town today we can but face paint and a glitter eyeshadow palette and maybe some other stuff!!!! Like I’m internally screaming rn and just wanted to tell someone!!!!!!
Pride parades hold a huge place in my heart since its like a thing me and my wife have been going to ever since we started dating ( at the age of 15, a childhood relationship with a happy end), we usually just wear a cute rainbow top and walk around being all cuddly and stuff. Now the problem is..... we are soon going to have kids.... which means no more pride parades because they have people dressing inappropriately ( u can even see it in the video)
This is so much better than the Mardi Gras here in the States also maybe it’s a cultural difference but here Mardi Gras celebrates the musical jazz history in New Orleans and Pride Parades are separate. Still cool you got to do this.
OMG i'm so happy there are places on earth it's possible. Thank you for your work i love all your videos ❤ . It's so cool to see people all in rainbow when in your country people get arrested for rainbow earrings. I dream one day go there and be visible for the first time.
this comment is very sweet, but breaks my heart ❤️ I hope things change for you soon. a very big reminder of one of the reasons why I make these videos, because I know its not safe eveywhere in the world for others yet. I am sending all the love in the world your way. 🫶💜
damn such powerful emotions during the parade with the perfect song going on, and the smiles and happiness, i was so proud to be seeing and hearing this !!!! amazing montage ! 🗣🗣🗣💕💕💕💕💕💕
First off, happy pride. Second the big dog with the pride cape was so cool, i want a mini version. And third as someone who lives in the US, it threw me for split second when you first mardi gras, as over here it refers to the big multi day event in New Orleans.
hahah yes! that was pretty cool. im 99% sure it was the float for Guide Dogs Australia 🦮 💜🌈 yea! in fact, thats where the name comes from! the people who started pride here, as a commemoration for the stonewall riots, and to stop homophobia wanted to call it something that had a 'festival' feel to it! thats my understanding anyway!
I watched this on the TV and could see you marching! I always love Mardi Gras, the queer joy it brings is just unmatched and seeing all the support is so incredible 🥹 looking forward to more gay videos this month! 🌈🌈
went to the pride parade with my gurlfriend penelópe and family , we are fortunate to be able to share these events together and with family , had tears of joy watching this together. our pride parade was really nice and cool. this upload ready made our Sunday Evening. We Luv What You Represent Btw ... 🏳️🌈👩❤️👩💍👩❤️💋👩💍👩❤️👩🏳️🌈 and we live in Chicago , Illinois , United States 🌆🌆🌠🌠👩❤️💋👩🌠🌠🌆🌆 💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞
Okee, so I guess it happens in Febuary because that's summer in the south of the globe and then you post it in june, which is pride month because that's summer in the north of the globe, right? I'm a little bit slow today :D
That’s exactly it! Mardi Gras was on the 2nd of march this year, it’s celebrated in the summer. And I posted it in June for pride month (but also bc I took ages to edit it)
I have been keeping my eye out for pride events and madi gras to go to for years. And i ALWAYS CHECK like a week after its happened, and i checked like 3 weeks ago and google said it was in like may? IT WAS A WEEK AGO THIS WHOLE TIME?? Im so annoyed istg WHY WONT EARTH LEMME GO TO A PRIDE FESTIVAL:[
Is Galpal still getting surgeries on her foot? I know Mardi Gras Parade was on Saturday the second of march and this footage is from back then just after she had come home to your parent's place, but does she have to go back in for anymore surgeries? I hope you bought her back something nice from Mardi Gras and that you are both up and about and back in your own home now. Not that there is anything wrong in staying with your parents, but I know being in your own place offers a lot more freedom to do whatever you want.
great question, there are no more planned surgeries for galpal thankfully! (hard to say if she will or wont need something in her old age when we get there haha). But yes, we're back home in our own place, and recovery has been going very well!
i hope you get the opportunity & courage to one day! 🫶 its a lotttt of people but it feels overwhelmingly supportive in the best way, there's nothing like it!
Hi Lauren, I am 9 mins 35 seconds in and I have a question, Why were people in the paradors arrested in 1978? I didn't know having a parade was illegal. I love a parade whoever is having it.
Great question! i think the short answer is that homosexuality was illegal. the long answer is they were marching to end to discrimination and police harassment of lgbt people (and in commemoration of the stonewall riots that happened in USA). i think they had permission to hold the parade, but then it got revoked and police tried to split them up. homosexuality was a crime in Aus until 1984, so 6 more years of fighting for rights :((((
I don't get it, how could loving someone be against the law, having to fight for the right to love another person, what is wrong with humans? Love is love, people should mind there own business live and let live I say. ❤️
@@Klingon2468 i know, it hurts my heart knowing the history. and we also didnt get marriage equality til 2017. Small steps but we will get there, i know it 💜
@@laurenelloise Well I am not a big fan of marriage myself, but 2017!!!!! Well Lauren you have really opened my eyes, I had no idea, I knew about the female struggle for equality, but I had no idea about the struggle the LGBT community had just for basic human right's. ❤
i know its so crazy, i remember going to marriage equality rallies in the city before even going to my first pride parade, even then, i remember seeing 'vote yes' signs in the parade! Thankfully now its passed, galpal and I can get married
aw thakn you! I was invited by Wear It Purple and they said I could have a plus one, so I thought I'd take mum since my sister and galpal had been before! (also galpal was not in any state to come hahah)
Hoi Lauren and erin i understand it was just strange that you sister wasn`t there now because normally she`s always there with you only the last three year not ❤✌👍@@laurenelloise
😁👍👍🌈🪅🥂 Cheers To The Freedom To Love ❤️ It's Great. 🥳 I am happy for everyone who got to enjoy being there. I hope that everyone who wasn't there but want to be there gets to go next time. Celebrate The Diversity Of Love ❤️. 😊

I love pride parades but sometime people just bring their kinks into the mix
Your content has made a real impact on me.
im really really happy to hear this
Great to see you and your mum had such an awesome time there!
yesss it was actually so good! great to hang out with mum too!
Lauren, when and what was the first pride festival/Mardi gras you attended?
I loved seeing everyone dressed up, it looked so fun!🌈💖
This is so much better than the Mardi Gras here in the States also maybe it’s a cultural difference but here Mardi Gras celebrates the musical jazz history in New Orleans and Pride Parades are separate. Still cool you got to do this.
Hey Lauren, another great video. Always love watching videos from you, Happy Pride Month everyone ❤

But this event happened in Febuary? Or June? I'm confused because of the Mardi Gras aspect :D
