If you google 'Dusty Limits', he's actually Australian, which I didn't know :) He's got tons of video on youtube, tough unfortunately neither 'men who have sex with men', nor 'Lover of serial killers' which would have been appropriate too :D
I totally understand the Mardi Gras thing. Here in the UK we had sort of the reverse polemic last year when there was the gay marriage debate. The 'conservative' fringe of LGBT had such an extreme attitude, almost like gay marriage was the alpha and omega that would solve all LGBT problems that some more alternative people got really fed up and took the exact opposite (and equally ridiculous IMHO) attitude of being against gay marriage as a scam. I was more, well, you have to be an idiot to refuse civil rights, but when Black people got allowed to sit wherever they liked on a bus, it didn't put an end to racist violence, discrimination, poverty and all, so let's not blow it out of proportion. But I could also understand extreme gut reactions from people more at one end or the other of the lifestyle, sort of.
In the end it's about trying to stick a one-fit-all aspiration/lifestyle on a group of very varied people, whatever the the particular aspiration or image is, it will never fit everybody.
