Sydney Mardi Gras is back!
The historic parade that launched after Australia’s own version of Stonewall. In June of 1978, New South Wales police attacked members of the LGBTQ+ community celebrating Pride, only this time the community fought back. Police arrested scores, and their cries of pain could be heard outside the Darlington Police Station where the arrested were brutally beaten. The following year, up to 3,000 LGBTQ+ folks got out of the bars and into the streets to celebrate Sydney Mardi Gras, and the tradition continues today.
