FUSE56 : 40 YEARS OF EVOLUTION
|
|
Well, I don’t think I am understating things to say that the 40th Anniversary of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras was absolutely awesome!
On the ‘night of nights’, under the theme ‘40 Years of Evolution’, an estimated 300,000 spectators filled the streets of Sydney to watch over 12,000 participants take part in the world’s biggest celebration of the LGBTIQ community — the 40th annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade. Afterwards we continued to celebrate at Australia’s biggest LGBTIQ party, which was headlined by superstar and gay icon Cher. The party busted at the seams with thousands of joyous glitter-coated revellers in every imaginable colour of the rainbow. It was all very fabulous!
