“We are very excited to be a part of this and to celebrate with everyone, to be on Oxford Street for World Pride, we are very proud.”
The float was part of Sydney’s gay and lesbian Mardi Gras parade that descended on Oxford Street on Saturday.
The parade began in 1978 as a march to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York and has been held every year since to promote awareness of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues.

It coincides this year with the World Pride in Sydney. The city overwhelmingly defeated Montreal and Houston in a vote in Athens to decide on hosting rights for the festival, which is held every two years.
Sydney is making history as the first city in the southern hemisphere to host a WorldPride event, after winning the rights in 2019.
World Pride Committee chair Robyn Kennedy said the organization had recognized the efforts of Sydney’s gay and lesbian Mardi Gras.
The event is expected to attract more than a million additional visitors to Sydney and inject $664 million into the economy.
