First sentence: When the international news media reported that the leaders of the two major Christian churches in Australia, the Catholic and the Anglican, had spoken out against the 2000 Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the interest was less in what they had said-that the event promoted the homosexual lifestyle and should not be attended or supported by Sydney's citizens-than that such a statement was felt to be necessary twenty-two years after the first parade.
