Du lærer om byens rige og varierede queer-historier og hører historierne om fremtrædende queer-borgere i byen samt vigtige dele af den kulturelle scene, herunder den internationalt anerkendte Mardi Gras-parade. I betragtning af den ofte skjulte karakter af queer-historien, vil denne tur give et billede af, hvad vi ved om de indfødte Australiens syn på forskellig seksuel orientering og køn, samt omstændighederne og historierne om vores queer-forfædre under kolonitiden og ind i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede. Vi vil derefter sætte fokus på perioden med sociale omvæltningsreformer, der bragede ind i mainstream fra 1970'erne og frem, herunder betydningen af det første fastelavn i 1978 og de følgende årtier med protest, fest og håndtering af HIV-epidemien.

Du vil se skjulte historier fra kolonitiden ind i 1970'erne. Vi starter ved Archibald-fontænen, et sted, der symboliserer byens skjulte queer-historier. Vi vender tankerne tilbage til, hvad vi ved om indfødte Australiens holdning til queerness, forud for ankomsten af den britiske kolonisering. Vi vil derefter se på, hvordan det koloniale Australien fra 1788 behandlede LGBT-personer, og hvordan queer mennesker levede og elskede på trods af det ofte fjendtlige miljø.
På Whitlam Square vil vi udforske, hvordan perioden i 1970'erne var begyndelsen på æraen for homoseksuelles rettigheder med krav om retfærdighed og lighed. Vi vil diskutere den rolle, medierne spillede, samt hvordan de forskellige dele af Australien reagerede på disse påstande
Vi snor os gennem Darlinghursts baggader med et kaffe/te-stop undervejs på en sød lokal café til Green Park. Her får vi mulighed for at overveje, hvordan Sydney håndterede HIV-epidemien i begyndelsen af 1980'erne, herunder mange succeser sammen med vedvarende udfordringer i forhold til homofobi og transfobi ind i 1990'erne og 2000'erne.
Vi vil nå Taylors Square, det sidste stop, og diskutere, hvad der skete i juni 1978 ved den første Mardi Gras netop på det sted, og hvorfor det stadig er et stærkt kald til Queer Sydney i dag. Vi vil diskutere, hvordan det har ændret sig gennem årene, fra den brede offentlighed oprindeligt var meget på vagt over for det til i dag, hvor der er et stærkt fællesskab, der omfavner det i byens identitet.

Michael was really knowledgeable and shared many engaging stories that brought Sydney’s queer history and culture to life, including the struggles and key moments in the fight for equal rights. The tour had a really relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, which made it easy to enjoy and ask questions. I especially enjoyed the coffee stop, where there was plenty of time to have a nice chat! A friendly, informative and genuinely lovely experience. Highly recommend!
Michael is a knowledgeable local with great insigth to the history and politics related to the development of stigma, inclusion and society. As we participated in the fabtastic tour during Mardi Gras, we also talked about this. Michael is very sociable and easygoing, plus very helpfull. Go for the knowledge and good company
Thank you John for the lovely comments. It was a pleasure to take the two of you around and share stories over coffee. Enjoy the Mardi Gras parade tomorrow evening.
Great walking tour of gay areas of interest in Sydney. Michael was an excellent guide and provided perfect snapshots of history related to gay life both in Sydney and Australia in general. Highly recommend for history buffs.
Thanks so much for the kind review - it was really enjoyable taking you guys around :)
Michael is expert in all aspects of Sydney’s queer story-both the facts about the past and present. Clear, interesting explanations and ability to respond to all our questions.
The tour was very interesting with a lot of background information. Michael is a very friendly tour guide and we felt very comfortable with him, We would book the tour again and can highly recommend it.
How pleased I am to have chosen this tour. Sydney has long been regarded as extremely Rainbow Friendly but the reality is not so rosy with violent reactions and laws endangering people who are just asking for acceptance and equality. Some paid with their lives. Michael has a wealth of knowledge and loves answering questions.
We would highly recommend the Queer walking tour with Michael. We traveled from Ireland on holiday and didn't know much about Australian Queer history. The tour gave us a great insight and well rounded look at the history and modern day LGBTQ activism. It's a great way to see Sydney through a queer lens and get a real feel for the city.
Such an informative tour of the LGBTQ history of Sydney. Michael is so knowledgeable and had us engages for the whole tour.
This was amazing, Michael was really well informed and engaging. I will definitely book again when I have out of town visitors, everyone should know this history. Thank you!
Michael's melodic and informative presentation style brings to life complex history of Queer Sydney. The tour highlights such a depth that you have the experience of walking through a history. It was fascinating to see places with new details and it enriched my experience of Sydney.
