Contingent Number 179: Melbourne Marching Girls.
“We haven’t come this far, to only go this far”
We march to be visible in acknowledging the lives of LGBTQI women. This time, we will be paying tribute to the extraordinary and courageous Anne Lister (1791-1840) (Halifax landowner, diarist) Before The Suffragettes, Gay Liberation, De-criminalisation and Marriage Equality, Lister lived a life uncompromisingly true to herself, even inventing a ‘marriage’ and living with her ‘wife’, the equally courageous Ann Walker.
