Sydney's now famous annual Running Of The Gays festival was once again successfully held through the streets of Darlinghurst just under two weeks ago.
For 29 years this traditional event has attracted some of the bravest young men and women from around the world to take part in testing their bravery against a rampaging stampede of gays and lesbians.
Competitors were given a 30 second head start at the beginning of the course along Oxford St Sydney before the gays were unleashed in a frenzy behind them.
No major injuries were reported with the exception of a few bruised egos as some participants were tossed to the ground or took the odd unexpected horn from
behind.
This years crop of gays and lesbians were again trained to perfection, with butches, dykes, givers, receivers, queens, mincers, leather daddies, dominatrixs, ladyboys, bears, ace queens, bastket weavers, boon daggers, fagateenies, tansy’s and shibari specialists all coming out in their full glory angrily chasing down the panicked participants.

Notably absent were the cherry boys and as usual there wasn’t an angel with a dirty face to be seen.
