The LGBTQI Australian community is getting ready for the final kick.


Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of Australia’s most famous and well-loved events. It captures the imagination of Australia’s LGBTQI and mainstream communities, taking over the city for weeks, culminating in the world-famous Parade: a colourful and dazzling night of pride, celebration and self-expression.

Giovanni Campolo-Arcidiaco, a board member of the Festival, tells us more about the past, the present and the future of the event and more in general about the issues of the LGBTQI community Down Under.
