You should check out the women in Brazilian Carnival (Carnival Brazil) then tell me if it is gay.
He was referring to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras which is held every February, but I'm assuming he wasn't aware the Marco Gras in the OP is a celebration of a different kind.

The Sydney event started as a protest March in the late 1970's when certain lifestyle choices were still illegal and police officers in Sydney were known for "poofter bashing". It's now a major tourist attraction with support from government and police.
