Mel Gibson Catching Up on His Gay Literature

Mel Gibson was spotted at the G'Day USA Hollywood Ashes & Aussie Picnic, which is an Australian and English international celebrity cricket match, toting around some unusual reading material, notably gay Australian cowboy Adam Sutton's memoir Say It Out Loud.

Sutton was a friend of Heath Ledger's whose own coming out story made headlines in Australia following the revelation that Sutton was part of Ledger's inspiration for the role. He's since become a gay celeb in Australia, and last year led the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade down Oxford Street with Rupert Everett.

What Gibson was doing with his book is anyone's guess.

Sydney Mardi Gras Parade Takes Oxford Street

Actor Rupert Everett and gay cowboy Adam Sutton led Sydney's annual Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade down Oxford Street over the weekend.

Sutton, a real-life gay cowboy and friend of Heath Ledger's came out a year ago following the release of Brokeback Mountain. Ledger has said his interpretation of the role was based in part on Sutton.

New South Wales police reported a crowd of more than 350,000 to watch the parade which has marked the celebration since 1978.

Said Everett: "I think it's time for us to give back, to care about each other, and to fight for others gay and straight who … don't have a voice just when they most need to be heard."

Among those on hand for the parade were a cadre of "Impossible Princesses" made up of more than 250 Kylie Minogue impersonators.
