Five of Australia's most groundbreaking LGBTQIA+ athletes will unite for the first time during the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival for Sports Talk: Raising the Rainbow Flag, an exclusive conversation about identity, resilience, and the future of inclusion in Australian sport. The event brings together athletes who have each changed the landscape of their codes, offering an honest and unfiltered look at the moments that shaped them the triumphs, the pressure, the visibility, and the battles fought to raise the rainbow flag in sport. Following the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to meet each athlete, have memorabilia signed, take photos, and connect directly with the icons who continue to redefine inclusion across Australian sport.
