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.

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