It’s interesting that it’s to be preserved as a historical place for the LGBTIQ community. That is a lot of letters. I see a lot of places for various flavours of gay men. Anything for the rest of us? And don’t get me started on accessibility. Up stairs and downstairs and I’m not well enough to bother getting in even with my wheelchair these days but trying to get to the supposedly accessible viewing places for Mardi Gras was laughable in that you had to laugh or you’d cry. No accessible transport, pavements that you can’t wheel over and aren’t safe to walk on with balance issues, apparently accessible port-a-loos set behind barriers or up kerbs with no cuts and no way to get back to an accessible station afterwards.
Oxford St never had a place for me even before I got bad enough to need the chair.

Great rhetoric – but Clover Moore sold off the iconic T2 building at Taylor Square – and many other buildings that should have been made available to the LGBTI+ community.

Her slogans are supportive, but the Lord Mayor’s actions have left Oxford Street shabby and deserted

So does this mean pink plaques where things used to be?

If you want to protect Oxford Streets identity, then why cancel MG parade on Oxford Street?! Please don’t say because of the viiiirus because we’re talking about over 4 months time and people are already living mostly normal lives. The vaccines work and people are not afraid anymore.
