Macca and Nevena talk to journalist, The Tasty Raid 30 Years On.

Tasty nightclub was controversially raided by Victoria police 30 years ago. How are those who were there that night marking such a dark anniversary? They’re throwing a big camp party.

LGBTQI+ culture was more concealed, less confident and more vulnerable in 1994 than now. Homosexuality was decriminalised but many civil rights were still years off: gay people couldn’t marry, adopt children or inherit a partner’s assets. If there was a nascent sense of social legitimacy, the Victorian police’s aggressively homophobic raid tapped directly into barely dormant feelings of inadequacy and shame.
