THEY ARE LITERALLY POLICNG OUR FUCKING SPACES. I THINK WE SHOULD THROW BRICKS AT THEM AGAIN.

Went to two of my city's pride events this weekend.

Neither of them were accessible for me or most of my friends.

Kinda sucks when things made to be welcoming and accepting of all cannot welcome people because we physically cannot be in that space.

Went to the Mardi Gras fair day, most of it was on grass and inaccessible by wheelchair. Also had loud music in a lot of areas which made it so I could not be in them, even with my earbuds in.

Went to the Minus18 queer formal, the disability toilets were not accessible to my friends in wheelchairs. Also the amount of loud noise and flashing lights made it a health hazard for my friends with neurological conditions and almost physically painful for me to be in any of the space due to sensory issues.

We were told these places would be accessible.

We were told these places would be for us.

They weren't.

When a space meant to be accepting cannot accept you it fucking hurts.

I am making this post to ask one question: Why is pride inaccessible to disabled people?

(Abled people can reblog, but don't fucking clown on this, okay?)

abc coverage of mardi gras trying desperately to avoid any acknowledgment of the solidarity with Palestinian people expressed by multiple groups such as extinction rebellion & pride in protest was. embarrassing.

#i’d love to have seen their guide for the hosts & commentators because i can imagine it’s wild #sydney mardi gras #i hope all australian mainstream media feels embarrassed and ashamed when palestine is liberated #because there’s gonna be so much proof our politicians and media were on the wrong side of history

Happy no cops marching in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (Australia's oldest and largest pride parade) day!

This comes off the back of continued abuse, NSW police taking a year to even acknowledge a damning report into the cover up of dozens of gay hate crime murders and a cop last week killing two gay men whose bodies still haven't been recovered.

Taking back out pride.

my dad is having a hard time understanding why i, a mentally ill queer person, would be fearful of the police and not want them included in this years mardi gras parade and how i, as a general rule, don’t trust cops. really didn't think i would have to explain but

Two things I care about tonight in my home country. The Pride March in Sydney & the Dunkley by-election in Melbourne. Talk more about them tomorrow.

I have yet to hear of the protestors being released, we can assume they are still being held unlawfully in custody at this point.

I’m watching the opening concert for World Pride and feeling aaalllll the semi-closeted raised-Catholic feels.

Courtney Act’s Broadway style number ‘we’ve always been here’ actually brought tears to my eyes.

This is bloody powerful

#self acceptance is a long road #I feel as though watching this year as the first time being out to even some people is hitting very differently #I’m hoping to go to my first pride event this year #we’ll see if I’m brave enough #I thoroughly enjoy how wild everyone gets whenever Penny Wong is mentioned #auspol #world pride #penny wong #sydney mardi gras #lgbtqia+
