It all started on Saturday night, when one of my biggest fears became a reality.Like thousands of others in Sydney, I was out celebrating Mardi Gras.
I started the night surrounded by my "rainbow family" and ended it at an afterparty near Oxford Street — Sydney's gay strip.A group of men got out. We were ambushed. I only realised what had happened when I looked back at my friends and felt the sticky yolks all over us.Eggs left splattered on the path where Mark Reddie and his friends were walking.When friends ask what I think about the latest spicy issue dividing the country or whether we still need events like Mardi Gras, I bat the conversation away.But on this occasion, I felt I didn't have a choice.
A La Trobe University study released late last year found almost half of LGBTQI respondents of a survey had experienced "heterosexist violence or harassment" in the past 12 months.I've got thick skin, I didn't want to let a car full of idiots drag me down.Walking down the street and being attacked simply for being you is something I did not expect in one of the world's most glittering gay cities.
Boy love?
Straight ?
Sorry, m8 Shit
That shirts going to cause a lot of problems
I'm sorry about this man's experience but his t shirt is a concern.
Eggs, it’s happened to all of us. Don’t think you can spin this as a hate attack..
I’m sorry this happened at all. But tell me why this was reported so differently by the ABC from EggBoy?
What about COVID safety. Or does that not count these days in Oxford street?
