10. (SOUNDBITE) (French) 20 YEAR-OLD DRAG QUEEN, LADY ARYA, SAYING:

"Well, I think these are two somewhat connected battles, though we shouldn't conflate them too much. There’s the issue of climate change, for instance, that’s a major factor. But aside from that, I actually think it’s not a bad thing that it was rescheduled, because we probably would have all died of the heat if it had taken place in June or July. So, all things considered, it might actually be for the best and it could even generate a bit of publicity for us, hopefully."
