It’s time to #ActForEquality

NSW has a special place in the history of LGBTQIA+ equality. It’s where the trailblazing 78ers bravely stepped out of the bars and into the streets in protest for the first Sydney Mardi Gras.  

And the NSW Parliament eventually followed, acting since the 1980s to strengthen our rights and protections under law. But the job is not finished, and the state is falling behind. 

Join Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, Equality Australia and ACON as we call on the NSW Government to #ActForEquality.
