Book Launch: Before Mardi Gras

SAVE THE DATE: For the launch of Graham Willett's new book, Before Mardi Gras on 10 March at 6:30PM in conversation with Dr Shirleene Robinson. This book explores Lesbian and Gay activism in Australia, 1969-1978

Tickets $10, available at: https://mailchi.mp/thebookshop.com.au/stepback

ABOUT THE BOOK: The Seventies were a decade of struggle by lesbians, gay men and our friends for recognition, reform and respect. It was a decade that changed Australian society. When the NSW police attacked the first Mardi Gras in 1978, they were taking on forces that they barely knew existed. This book examines the often-overlooked first decade of lesbian and gay rights activism in Australia, when the foundations for our communities and our equality were laid.
