Now that's what you call a float!

Streaming service/future overlords of us all, Netflix, has announced its partnership with the 2018 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras for what promises to be one heck of a float.

“Netflix are pioneers when it comes to queer representation on screen. Their programming has been at the forefront of presenting a great depth of LGBTQI characters and actors,” CEO of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Terese Casu said.

“We are delighted to have cast members from Netflix’s hit shows, who are either a part of the LGBTQI community or strong allies, join us for our 40th anniversary Parade.”
