You'll learn about the city's rich and varied queer histories and hear the stories of prominent queer citizens of the city, as well as important parts of the cultural scene, including the internationally renowned Mardi Gras parade.
Given the often hidden nature of queer history, this tour will provide a picture of what we know about indigenous Australia's view on diverse sexual orientation and gender, as well as the circumstances and stories of our queer forebears during the colonial period and into the early 20th century.
We will then bring into focus the period of social upheaval reforms that burst into the mainstream from the 1970's onwards, including the significance of the first Mardi Gras in 1978 and the following decades of protest, partying, and dealing with the HIV epidemic.

This was amazing, Michael was really well informed and engaging. I will definitely book again when I have out of town visitors, everyone should know this history. Thank you!

Michael's melodic and informative presentation style brings to life complex history of Queer Sydney. The tour highlights such a depth that you have the experience of walking through a history. It was fascinating to see places with new details and it enriched my experience of Sydney.
