🏳️🌈 AUSTRALIANS!!!!!!!! 🏳️🌈
Sign our No Police At Pride petition before the Midsumma Pride March this weekend—yes, straight people, that even includes you!
Four out of five Victorian queers mistrusts the police—and with good reason. Only last year were the cops defending literal Nazis marching under the banner of transphobia in our city streets. So why are the cops still marching at Pride? Because we haven’t told ‘em to fuck off loudly enough yet. This is a great chance to do that!
🏳️🌈 Sign the petition here! 🏳️🌈
And please send the link to your most ACAB of friends. No Police at Pride is incredibly grassroots and doesn’t have much reach, so you passing the petition on will make all the difference.
Happy Pride! Xoxo, we love you!
#no police at pride#midsumma#aussie queers of tumblr. come through for us#I am mates with one of the organisers of this and did draw their promo image but I am not an organiser.#however if you want to direct being angry about this at someone feel free to be angry at me. the organisers are busy

A Pirate and a Cowboy Walk into a Bar...
2023 Midsumma Festival Live Stream Event
A digital experiment in queer storytelling
There are 3 kinds of stories. Stories we tell each other. Stories we tell ourselves. And the stories we never notice because we’re too busy telling stories. But in a lonely little apartment somewhere, there’s a lonely little queer trying to find themselves... in a queer history that no one ever noticed. 'A Pirate And A Cowboy Walk Into A Bar... ' is a one-of-a-kind digital theatre experiment.

78ers to join Midsumma Pride March for the first time
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/78ers-to-join-midsumma-pride-march-for-the-first-time/
78ers to join Midsumma Pride March for the first time
A group of 78ers – the first Mardi Gras protesters from 1978 – will join the Midsumma Pride March in Melbourne for the first time this weekend.
The Victorian capital’s annual Pride March is on Sunday (February 4). Over 18,000 people and 400 queer organisations are registered to march before tens of thousands more spectators.
For the first time, an official contingent of 78ers will be among them, marching with their “Fearless” banner.
“78ers” refers to those who participated in the original Mardi Gras Parade violently broken up by police on June 24, 1978, as well as the activists who protested and campaigned to free those arrested.
Among the 78ers were many activists from Melbourne, as well as some who subsequently moved interstate to Melbourne.
On Sunday, 78ers from Sydney and regional areas will travel to Midsumma to march with local 78ers, some for the first time.
“Many of those activists in 1978 – including those at the first Mardi Gras – were from Melbourne. Many moved to Melbourne in later years,” a 78ers spokesperson explained.
“At the time, they shuttled back and forth. Planning the gay law reform campaign in the 1970s was not just state-based. The support and solidarity was national.”
That included snap demonstrations in Melbourne, as well as capitals Brisbane and Adelaide, the 78ers said.
Record turnout expected at Midsumma Pride March
On Sunday, the Midsumma Pride March will be a loud and proud celebration along Fitzroy Street in St Kilda.
Marchers will also include members of 400 other queer organisations, including Dykes on Bikes Melbourne, Boon Wurrung Elders, Rainbow Aboriginal Float, Minus 18, the Melbourne Rainbow Band and many more.
The march is a major event in the three-week 36th annual Midsumma Festival calendar. CEO Karen Bryant expects a record turnout at the Pride march.
“Our diverse LGBTQIA+ communities and allies will come together in spectacular fashion to march with those who can, and in solidarity for those who cannot,” she said.
Post-march celebrations continue afterwards at Catani Gardens on Sunday.
Next month, the 78ers will again lead this year’s Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade. The Parade returns to Oxford Street, Flinders Street and Anzac Parade on March 2, 2024.

#latergram The second #VictoriasPride street party, now fully integrated into #Midsumma, was a huge success. Drinks, wandering, bumping into people, joint wandering, watching street performers, splitting up to wander some more before bumping into more people… I was exhausted and retired (in the thick of it) before 6pm! #PeelSt #SmithSt #GertrudeSt (at Smith St Collingwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZJA_CNtWp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Pirate and a Cowboy Walk into a Bar...
2023 Midsumma Festival Live Stream Event
A digital experiment in queer storytelling
There are 3 kinds of stories.
Stories we tell each other. Stories we tell ourselves.
And the stories we never notice because we’re too busy telling stories.
But in a lonely little apartment somewhere, there’s a lonely little queer trying to find themselves... in a queer history that no one ever noticed.
'A Pirate And A Cowboy Walk Into A Bar... ' is a one-of-a-kind digital theatre experiment.
Ty Liebelt (whalespiel) needs your help to tell an old and tired story in an impossibly new way. A medley of improvised spoken word, digital art, music, a side of queer history and a few vulnerable moments.
It’s a show about figuring things out.
Disclaimer: Despite what its title implies, 'A Pirate And A Cowboy Walk Into A Bar...' cannot guarantee a satisfactory punchline or witty conclusion. Each performance will be unique and is likely to end accordingly.
