HAPPY 40TH, MARDI GRAS!
PHOTOGRAPHY / MARDI GRAS 2018
In 2018, Australia celebrated the 40th anniversary of a riot. What began as a protest in 1978 in support of gay and lesbian rights, turned into a street fight with police. It changed Australia, led to law reform, and created a Parade, Party and Festival celebrating all things LGBTIQ. And it became a treasured cultural institution, loved by most Australians regardless of their sexuality or gender identity.
This year’s celebration was always going to be a special one – not least because marriage equality was achieved late last year, and because gay icon and pop goddess, Cher was in town to perform live at the after party.
