The Canberra Mardi Gras floats name, 'Capital of Equality – Pink United' stands as a vibrant tribute to the values of inclusivity, diversity, and acceptance in our capital, Canberra. The float’s message was all about embracing “Our Future…” through a pink lens.
The pink triangle was a symbol of persecution, but LGBTQIA+ activists reclaimed it as a symbol of resilience and strength. The colour pink is often associated with visibility and solidarity within the LGBTQIA+ community. Pink symbolises a strong sense of unity among LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies. It serves as a visual representation of the community coming together to champion causes and shape the future.
With the valued backing of Canberra Frontrunners, renowned for fostering inclusivity and diversity through secure and inviting walks and runs catering to LGBTQIA+ individuals and their supporters, the Capital of Equality initiative is gained plenty of engagement and momentum.
