Introduction

The members of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras had a big meeting. They wanted to fix problems with the leaders of the group.

悉尼同志大遊行的成員舉行了一次大會，希望解決該團體領導層的問題。

Main Body

Two groups of people disagreed. One group wanted more protests for transgender rights. They wanted to stop some people from joining the parade. The other group wanted to work with everyone to make the community strong.

有兩組人意見分歧。一組人希望為跨性別權益發起更多抗議，並希望阻止某些人參加遊行。另一組人則希望與所有人合作，讓社群變得更強大。

Some leaders used official emails to fight against the board. The board did not like this. Also, the board did not follow some rules about the parade floats. This made people angry.

部分領導者使用官方電子郵件來對抗董事會，董事會對此並不認同。此外，董事會未遵守關於遊行花車的部分規則，這引起了人們的不滿。

At the meeting, the members voted. More than 70 percent of people voted to remove Luna Choo and Damien Nguyen from the board. Two other leaders stayed on the board.

在會議上，成員們進行了投票。超過 70% 的人投票支持將 Luna Choo 和 Damien Nguyen 從董事會撤職。另外兩名領導者則留在董事會中。

Conclusion

Two leaders left the board. The group now wants to make better rules for the future.

兩名領導者離開了董事會。該團體現在希望為未來制定更好的規則。
