Fred Nile addresses protesters in Taylor Square, Oxford Street Darlinghurst, 1989

Description

Unique IDA-01163644SeriesSydney Star Observer stock photograph libraryDate2nd October 1989Date qualifierexactFormatPhotograph - PrintDescriptionFred Nile, former NSW politician and member of the NSW Legislative Council, addressing protesters in Taylor Square, Oxford Street during a march and rally. Nile is standing on a platform in front of Darlinghurst Court House, facing south east into Taylor Square, where the crowd of protesters are holding up signs. The protest was organised by Nile and was against the Sydney Mardi Gras parade and the LGBTQI+ community. The protestors were mainly members of the Festival of Light, which was a conservative Christian organisation led by Niles. They marched from Oxford Street to Taylor Square, which was the traditional route of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. In the centre right background is the Taylor Square Hotel, which closed in 2008. The palm trees in front of the hotel are colloquially known as Gilligan's Island. On the right hand side are the Belgenny flats located on the corner of Campbell Street and Bourke Street.
