INCREDI-GAYS Mardi Gras Float
Help us rip Tony Abbott, Pauline Hanson, Donald Trump, John Howard & Cardinal George Pell a new one, showing them that when freedom fighters come together, LOVE TRUMPS HATE !
It was 2005 when Incredi-Joyce and the Incredi-gays made its debut in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade. Back then, in our pursuit for freedom, our superheroes battled the evil forces of the day including John Howard, Amanda Vanstone, George W Bush & Arch Bishop Pell.
This year, although we’ve achieved so much, including Marriage Equality, there are still conservative evils trying to oppress our community & freedoms. So, to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, we decided it was time to reprise our story, in an even more incredi-ble way! This year, with your support, we’re hoping to send our message to the world even louder and clearer… after all, love trumps hate.

Potential Challenges
Fancy seeing an Incredi-Dare?
To make things fun, at each $1.5k crowdfunding milestone, the below participants have nervously agreed to be ‘Maynged up’ by our Incredi-leader herself for a special Facebook/Insta profile headshot, each with a completely different mop. As little as $5 could help create this ‘Mayngey magical moment’.
$1500 Milestone
The delicious lawyer Chris Burubu will be our first Mayngey milestone. Go Chris!
$3000 Milestone
Australia’s first lady of house, legendary DJ Kate Monroe has bravely agreed to be Joyce Maynge’d for your viewing pleasure.
$4500 Milestone
Slightly scared Andrew Rigby will for the first time ever experience a drag-formation as Maynge herself.
$6000 Milestone
And last but not least, Charlotte Dentice can't wait to get Maynged!
