Very excited this wonderful new #oralhistory book has arrived. Congratulations @dougboyd.bsky.social . This is both a great read if you’re new to oral history but also filled with thought-provoking & innovative material if you’re an advanced practitioner. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a beautiful day & privilege, celebrating LGBTIQ+ history with awesome Sydney Pride History Group volunteers at Fair Day as part of month-long Mardi Gras festivities. #LGBTIQ+ #QueerHistory #MardiGras #FairDay #HistoryMatters

Two women smile at the camera. One is wearing a white hat and the other a pink hat.

Two women stand on grass, near a pink, sparkling horse.

This photo shows a stall of the Pride History Group at Mardi Gras Fair Day. Two volunteers inside a tent are
talking with two community members. A pink Pride History Group banner is visible.

Sydney friends might be interested in this upcoming chat with Graham Willett about LGBTIQ+ activism before 1978 and his book on this great topic. More info: mailchi.mp/thebookshop....

This is really terrible. As is often said and needs to be repeated, there is no LGB without the T. We resist division and stand together as LBGTIQ people 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💪🏽

So strange to remember a time when an entity called Twitter wasn’t openly hostile to movements for social change. Feels like a million years ago when marriage equality was supported there. Feels good to be here now anyway!

A beautiful day for a queer history walk in Sydney led by wonderful Robert French with assistance from Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Robert has led these walks for decades and the PrideHistory Group is thrilled to enjoy with a truly fantastic turnout! #QueerSydney #QueerHistory 🌈🏳️‍⚧️
