Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is the non-for-profit organisation that runs the annual Parade as well as a number of other events throughout the year. Our general objective is to raise the visibility of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex communities. We do that in many ways but the most notable of these is the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade. Mardi Gras hopes to inspire the world to love each other by celebrating the power and beauty of diversity.
