As a lover of God I don't take anything from Mardi gras as anything but ungodly and disgraceful. It's been this way since the "celebrations" of this event began.

Got Questions about Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday,” is the last day of a season called “Carnival.” The Carnival season is characterized by merrymaking, feasting, and dancing. Mardi Gras is the culmination of festivities and features parades, masquerades, and, unfortunately, often drunkenness and shameless debauchery. Carnival is typically celebrated in Catholic countries of southern Europe and Latin America.
The excess of Carnival may not seem to have much in common with the austerity of Lent, but the two seasons are inseparable. The day after Fat Tuesday is Ash Wednesday; therefore, the end of Carnival is followed immediately by the beginning of Lent. Lent is a time of fasting and penance in preparation for Easter. Carnival, then, can rightly be seen as the indulgence before the fast. It is one last “binge” before having to give something up for 40 days.
What does the Bible say about all this? There is nothing in the Bible that in any way suggests that early Christians observed either Lent or Carnival. And, of course, there is no biblical support for the kind of fleshly indulgence generally practiced on Fat Tuesday. The Bible expressly forbids drunkenness, carousing, and sexual fornication. Romans 13:13-14 says, “Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”
In general, Mardi Gras revelers engage in a binge of sinning before a time of consecration to God. The celebration of Mardi Gras fosters the notion that you can do whatever you want on Fat Tuesday, as long as you show up in church on Ash Wednesday. It’s the bender before the benediction, and it’s utterly unscriptural.

One of the biggest mardi gras celebrations in the world is in St Louis, MO. Family forum and decorum prevent me from describing the disgustingness and debauchery that takes place IN PUBLIC. Never mind what happens behind closed doors, and even in publicly accessible places of public places.
Carnival in Brazil is the giant LGBTQABCXYZ debauchery that precedes and becomes part of mardi gras. A long time ago, Argentina tried to fight it (Rio was the biggest at the time and mostly heterosexual and LGBTQ were trying to take it over), so most of the LGBTQ "festivities" moved to Brazil, but now both places are the same disgustingness and debauchery. Anything and everything goes. Essentially without rule of law.
Even the people in Sodom and Gomorrah would blush at what happens
A whole parade of dumptruck loads of ashes isn't enough . . .

Actually who actually knows, no judgements have directly come onto these countries that hosts these parades so i could only assume that Sodom and Gomorrah was worse for God to react with that judgementOne of the biggest mardi gras celebrations in the world is in St Louis, MO.

I think God has been extra patient and forebearing because Jesus died for all sins, and it's likely there are at least ten righteous in both countries.
After The Rapture, all bets are off everywhere.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
Genesis 18:32, KJV
