Powerful front cover of tomorrow's NT News in Darwin: "The time for talking's over. The public are sick of the bickering and political point-scoring about same-sex marriage... The legalisation of same-sex marriage is inevitable. It's time to end this farce. DO IT NOW."

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, who are the traditional owners of the land we work on. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

Thank you to our generous sponsors whose support makes Mardi Gras possible.
