SYDNEY, MARDIS GRAS - the whole Gay and Lesbian LGBT parade (AUSTRALIA) ????
SYDNEY, Mardis Gras - the whole Gay and Lesbian LGBT parade (AUSTRALIA)... Here's the whole parade that took place during Sydney's Gay and Lesbian (LGBT) celebrations and Mardis Gras parade. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com . Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com . Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds the world's largest natural harbour, and sprawls towards the Blue Mountains to the west.
Australia is a country and continent surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans. Its major cities – Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide – are coastal. Its capital, Canberra, is inland. The country is known for its Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, a vast interior desert wilderness called the Outback, and unique animal species like kangaroos and duck-billed platypuses.

#MardiGrasSydney #GaySydney #SydneyGayMardiGras
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is a festival celebrating the LGBTQI community in Sydney, promoting a statement of pride, diversity and acceptance, and holding a wide variety of community events, cultural and social activities, and more, for local residents and visitors to the city to enjoy. This year’s theme, ‘Fearless’, explore the ides of living life courageously despite your fears, recognising how the brave actions of LGBTQI advocates, activists and groups have paved the way for equality and inclusion.
On the 24 June 1978 the Gay Solidarity Group marched through the city in the first ever Mardi Gras street festival with the intention of raising awareness of the issues faced by LGBTQI residents in Sydney, starting with the decriminalisation of homosexuality. The protest was also held to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that spontaneously broke out in New York in 1969. Although the first festival ended in violence with 53 arrests noted, the community did not give up in their efforts to be treated equally in their home country. 1979 saw the event expand from a one-day march to a week-long festival, incorporating a new artistic direction with a Gay Alternative Fair Day, film screenings and the first dance party fundraiser held at Balmain Town Hall.

Let's Have a Kiki: Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
The Scissor Sisters asked and we delivered!
Together with flashmob supremo DJ Dan Murphy and Rock Your Box, we decided to take on a very special project over the Big Gay Weekend - creating the World's Biggest Kiki.
The band have taken the world by storm with the instructional dance video accompanying their infectious new track Let's Have a Kiki, and we brought together our fiercest dancers to show them how we do it Sydney style, starring Mardi Gras favourite and much loved Sydney drag queen Joyce Maynge!
Here's what went down after we locked the doors to Oxford Art Factory...

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras – What to do on your visit to Australia's LGBTI capital
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras – What to do on your visit to Australia's LGBTI capital
There are hundreds of Prides across the planet but none are quite like Sydney Mardi Gras.
Not only because Australia, to Tom our Gay Star News Travel editor, feels like a faraway land of gorgeous food, dangerous animals and stunning beaches. But Sydney's Pride is probably the biggest party the country throws – and if you’ve ever met an Australian, you know that’s a statement.
However, the problem comes when we call it a party. While nothing quite beats the feeling of unleashing pent up queer energy into one, communal celebration, aren’t Prides meant to be a protest?
As I approached the epicenter of the LGBTI rights movement in Australia, the question plagued my mind: should I be protesting or partying?
