Auslan Throat Goat And Magda Szubanski’s Viral Moments Close Out Sydney WorldPride 2023
The closing weekend of Sydney WorldPride 2023 was full of viral moments, including an Auslan Throat Goat as well as Kath and Kim’s Sharon making a surprise appearance at Ultra Violet.
At the Sydney WorldPride closing concert, Rainbow Republic, the Auslan interpreter stole the show during Kim Petras’ set.
During her set, she performed a bunch of tracks from her 2022 EP Slut Pop and the interpreter was there to sign every lyric, leading to viral moments during the songs Coconuts and Throat Goat.
During the song Throat Goat, for example, the interpreter signed ‘throat goat” in a way that could be described as eating a thick subway sandwich with both hands.

During Coconuts, the sign for, “my coconuts, you can put them in your mouth – right now, right now,” resembled rhythmically massaging his breasts with his hands and then motorboating an imaginary set of them.
No surprise that @kimpetras was fucking stunning at #SydneyWorldPride even with a cold she TURNT IT OUT but can we just appreciate the auslan THROAT GOAT doing coconuts 😂👏❤️🔥 pic.twitter.com/sqJnvSqw2G
