Presented by City of Adelaide

To mark the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in South Australia, the City of Adelaide presents two civic displays that honour the strength, courage, and progress of LGBTQIA+ communities.

Located at Adelaide Town Hall and the City Library, the displays feature archival material from the City of Adelaide and Australian Queer Archives alongside personal contributions from respected community members William Sergeant OAM and Margaret Fischer AM. Together, these objects and images trace a timeline of activism, resilience, and change, acknowledging those who helped shape a more inclusive and just city.

Through these exhibitions, the City pays tribute to the many individuals whose stories continue to inspire reflection, recognition, and pride. The displays form part of a broader commitment to truth-telling, inclusion, and visibility for LGBTQIA+ communities across Adelaide.
