Mardi Gras is an annual pride parade of LGBT. Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of Australia’s most famous and well-loved events, bringing thousands of visitors to Sydney to join in the celebrations. Mardi Gras is a celebration of love, diversity, and equal rights. The history of Mardi Gras takes us back to the time of 1978, when on a chilly winter night when police came down on a street festival bravely celebrating gay rights when homosexuality was illegal in Australia. The first Mardi Gras celebration ended in Violence. On Saturday 24 June 1978 at 10pm, several hundred gay and lesbian people and their supporters – some in fancy dress and some simply rugged up against the cold – gathered at Taylor Square and followed a truck with a small music and sound system down Oxford Street to Hyde Park.

"Out of the bars and into the streets!” they yelled. “Stop police attacks on gays, women and blacks! From then Mardi Gras become a defining moment in the nation's gay rights history.
