Oxford Street is one of the world’s most renowned gay districts. For half a century the strip has been Australia’s queer capital, providing the LGBTQI community with a safe space in which to express our fabulous, colourful and diverse identities.
Since 1979 the Star Observer has chronicled, celebrated and championed our glittering gaybourhood. This year we are redoubling our commitment to the once Golden Mile.
This month the Star Observer is launching a campaign to preserve Oxford Street’s LGBTQI identity. As part of this effort we have created the LET THE RAINBOW SHINE ON OXFORD STREET campaign to look at the past present and future of Oxford Street, while championing the local area, the people and venues that make it such a special place.
