Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
Sydney, Australia
1988 was Australia’s Bicentenary year. The first-ever Koori float featured Aboriginal dancer and activist Malcolm Cole dressed as Captain Cook, standing in a long boat drawn by white men. "It is enough trouble being black, let alone gay," Cole explained to the Sydney Morning Herald. "That's why I am determined to put this float in the Mardi Gras."
