So who's stopping her from keeping her own sexuality behind closed doors?

Also, Australia has Mardi Gras, too?

Yes and it’s run by a group of transphobes, catering to corporations and police over queer people.

But middle aged white gay men love it.

Also, Australia has Mardi Gras, too?

It's the big annual gay pride march in Sydney: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Gay_and_Lesbian_Mardi_Gras

They use the name 'Mardi Gras' because at the time of the first one it was just synonymous with a street festival of any kind.

But Mardi Gras originated as a Christian celebration (also known as Shrove Tuesday) before Lent, so a lot of places have a Mardi Gras celebration connected to that tradition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras
