Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Special – 78ers, DOB Sydney, First  Nations Inclusion, Look after yourself with ACON, FRANKIE SAYS, Body Shaming & Prepping for the Parade : 1st March 2018

Over 4 decades, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has become a beacon in Australian culture, evolving from a protest that turned violent into a vibrant celebration of LGBTIQA+ pride.

As we head towards the culmination of the festival with the Mardi Gras Parade this Saturday, we take tonight’s show to reflect on pride and protest in its various forms, as we look at the history and speak to the people who have helped to channel the spirit of Sydney’s Mardi Gras Pride amongst our communities.

So, sit back and join us in this special one hour episode of The Informer as we recount the past, celebrate with Dykes on Bikes Sydney, discuss how much further we have to go with the First Nations Float people, look after ourselves and each other with ACON, we forget about Cher because it’s all about FRANKIE this Mardi Gras Party and discuss body shaming and prep for the parade.

This episode of The Informer was hosted by Dan Roberts on JOY 94.9.
