Over 300,000 people were on hand to see Grand Marshall and Olympic gold medalist Matthew Mitcham lead off this year's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia. This year's theme was Nations United and honored homosexuals around the world, especially those that can't live openly.

All the pics of Matthew are very sexy...but the one with his hairy armpits showing...love to bury my face in those then lick the rest of his smooth body! His partner is one lucky guy!!!

The first photo is a truly lovely snap of Matthew Mitcham cheek to cheek with Australia's most celebrated drag diva Vanessa Wagner (Tobin Saunders). Using this personna Tobin has, for the last 15 years, been one of the nation's most committed activists in the fight against HIV/AIDS and in support of people living with HIV or AIDS.

Congrats to Matt. I hope he continues to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

A correction to my earlier comment - it's not Vanessa Wagner, but rather Joyce Maynge whom Matt's being cheeky with. Joyce Maynge is one of ten Sydney drag identities who are celebrated in Carol Langley's beautifully illustrated and carefully researched softcover coffee table book "Beneath the Sequined Surface: An Insight into Sydney Drag".

Just to correct you there, John. I believe that's the equally delightful and magnanimous Joyce Maynge in the photo with Matthew.
By the way, I loved it at Harbour Party when we all got to sing Happy Birthday to Matthew for his 21st.
