Come rain or come shine....

Tomorrow night is Sydney's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade. So often the Parade has been staged in rain or under the threat of rain. We have a very wet period at the moment and the forecast suggests it will indeed rain on Sydney's parade (again) tomorrow evening.

In years past the Reverend Fred Nile, who as well as being an ordained Minister is also a Member of the New South Wales Parliament, has been a very vocal critic of the Parade; indeed of all things homosexual. He used to pray for rain before the Parade - which naturally would be a sign of God's disapproval of homosexuality - but in recent years Mr Nile seems to have gone silent on the issue. Or am I just deaf to his pronouncements?

Anyway, I assume Mr Nile still prays and this year his prayers look like being answered.
