In 2017, the people of Sydney organised a street parade to celebrate the same sex marriage. The event started in 1978 as a protest march for gay rights and decriminalisation of homosexuality but has since grown into a major tourist spectacle featuring leather, sequins, glitter, lasers and dance music. It is now Sydney’s biggest street party and a major focal point for Australia’s gay and lesbian community. In this street parade in year 2018, 200 floats and groups of street dancers headed by Dikes on Bikes which is a motorcycle club, participated to show their happiness of the allowance of same sex marriage which fully gives freedom to people and in this way the people do not feel regret or shameful by disclosing the likings of same sex or gender. Mardi Gras honoured the 78ers which is a group of people who were involved in the original protest on June 24,1978 as a peaceful march for gay rights. That protest was a very violent protest in which police arrested 53 people who were fighting or protesting for gay rights. However the police has apologised for arresting the people and the brutality shown and now they even march every year in the parade held.
