A documentary about the first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia. I found a copy of this earlier in the year and posted it on archive.org. Content Warning for police brutality.

Oh my god - thanks so much for this! I’m in Aotearoa and this has been on my radar for the last five years, but I’ve never been able to find a copy!

@princessnorah The title seems to think the elements of the list are necessarily different things.

@princessnorah I mean the elements of the list in the title.
I someone could be a witch and the other elements.

See, this is really intriguing to me, but probably not for the reason you think. The US title of the film seems to be Witches, Faggots, Dykes and Poofters whereas the title I used here is the original Australian one. To me as an Aussie, writing a list of four items like this seems normal, and doesn’t imply to me exclusivity. I mean, as a sapphic trans woman, who often chooses to dress butch, I feel like I absolutely can embody all four terms, indeed often at the same time.
