The cast of Orange Is The New Black joined fellow Netflix actors Christian Navarro (who plays queer character Tony on Thirteen Reasons Why) and openly gay Jonathan Groff (AKA "The Groff", star of Netflix's Mindhunter) last night on the Mardi Gras parade route as part of the Netflix Australia and New Zealand float.
If their social media accounts are anything to go by, it's safe to say the group had a pretty great night.

Orange Is The New Black actress Lea DeLaria, who earlier this week surprised fans with , took to social media prior to the the parade to fan-girl over Aussie pop star Dani Minogue, who (for reasons as yet unclear) joined the excited troop aboard the Netflix float.
Groff, who crashed into the collective queer conscious with his leading role on the popular series Looking, set hearts racing with his, er, endearing dance moves and selfies with onlookers, while heavily pregnant Australian actress Yael Stone also joined in the fun.
OITNB co-stars Samira Wiley and Danielle Brookes appeared to relish the opportunity for a long-awaited reunion of their characters Taystee and Poussey, sharing photos on Instagram of the pair riding a rainbow-laden motorbike.
I don't know about you, but we can't help but wonder whether this means Netflix will be flying in the Queer Eye boys for next year's parade.

The 40th Annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras airs tonight, March 4 at 8:30pm on SBS.
