As the sun sets tonight, a group of 78ers and friends are re-tracing the steps the original Mardi Gras protestors made on this night in 1978, sharing their memories and inspiring stories. 🏳️‍🌈
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DARLINGS! 39 years ago today a group of brave and dedicated individuals marched into the history books of our community. On Saturday 24 June 1978, in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots, several hundred gays, lesbians and straight supporters gathered at Taylor Square and followed a truck with a small music and sound system down Oxford Street to Hyde Park. Starting as a festival and turning into a riot, this protest march, now known as the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, has become a defining moment not only in Australia's LGBTQI rights history, but a defining moment in the cultural heritage of Australia. 🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺

Great pic & post from Brisbane's rally at the weekend! #Repost @___shannaynay: TODAY WAS FULL OF RAINBOWS 🏳️‍🌈 Australia you need to stand up and LEGALISE SAME SEX MARRIAGE! We stand on the right side of history. Today people from all over the world celebrated PRIDE and whilst we did that we also PROTESTED FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE TO BE LEGALISED IN AUSTRALIA. Love is love, love will win and we will keep fighting until we get it. I will never stop fighting for love and equality. We are human too. BTW I had my @happyhippiefdn logo down the bottom on the other side of my sign 👌🏽PEACE & LOVE ☮️❤️🌼✨🍭
