MORE SOUTHERN DECADENCE

SOUTHERN DECANDENCE earned its reputation by being one of the most unapologetically racy exhibitions of gay life, where outlandish costumes and outdoor sex were the norm.

But public sex occurs with less frequency in recent years thanks to protests from religious conservatives in New Orleans, an increased police presence and a campaign by Southern Decadence organizers to cut the number of revelers that land in the city jail.

But the costumes remain, and this year’s parade grand marshals, Lisa Beaumann and Regina Adams, chose the “Jazz & Jezebels” theme to celebrate one of the most fiercely roaring eras in America’s history.

I guess God cancelled the party.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
