Description In the more than 40 years since the first Mardi Gras, Australian society and the lives of all those who live here have been transformed. Reforms, from the decriminalisation of sex between men to marriage equality, mean that lgbtiq people no longer live the kind of lives that they did in the 1950s and sixties. What is less noticed is the decade before this. This is the story of the 1970s: the Homosexual Law Reform Society of the ACT (1969), the Daughters of Bilitis (1970) and the Campaign Against Moral Persecution launched a movement that challenged laws, regulations, professional policies and public opinion, which laid the foundations for all that followed.
