About 70 women and a number of men enjoyed the forum. Dr Sophie Robinson, Dr Sue Wills and Robyn Plaister spoke on the pivotal role of lesbians in early lesbian and gay movements.
Also marked was the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Australasian Lesbian Movement.
Many fine contributions were made during the Q&A. The forum – hosted jointly by First Mardi Gras Inc. and Pride History Group – was the first in a series: 50 Fabulous Years of Liberation.
A panel and audience discussion titled 'A Lavender Menace? Australia's Early Lesbian History'. The event was hosted by First Mardi Gras Inc and Sydney's Pride History Group on Saturday February 15, 2020.
