Here are just some of the photos from the inspiring rally for marriage equality organised by the grassroots organisation Community Action Against Homophobia.
One of the speakers included Aunty Shirley, a proud indigenous activist, who emphasised how solidarity between the LBGT community and the indigenous people is fundamental in advancing the rights of each group.
“Ms Gillard is a hypocrite because she is living in ‘sin’ and not allowing you to marry.” Aunty Shirley declared. “And as for us blackfellas, we don’t discriminate against anyone… we are the custodians of this country. We will not stand by and let other people be treated as badly as us blackfellas were.”
