The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras (1978) was formed by the Gay Solidarity Group to protest against homophobia, demanding civil rights for the LGBT community and commemorating the Stonewall riot. The resulting police violence and arrests created a defining night in not only Sydney’s LGBT community, but Australia’s cultural heritage. Read more about the uprising.
