Sydney Mardi Gras honours killed gay couple

The Sydney Mardi Gras festival has paid tribute to a gay couple who were murdered in their home in 1989. The bodies of the couple, Scott Johnson and Greg Scrivener, were found at the bottom of a cliff in Manly, Sydney. The case was initially ruled as a suicide but was later re-investigated and found to be a homophobic hate crime.

At this year’s Mardi Gras parade, a special tribute was made to honour the memory of Scott Johnson and Greg Scrivener. Thousands of people gathered to remember the couple and to call for justice for their deaths. The Mardi Gras festival, which celebrates LGBTQ+ pride and diversity, has long been a platform for activism and advocacy for equal rights.

The tribute to Scott Johnson and Greg Scrivener serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight against discrimination and violence towards the LGBTQ+ community. It also highlights the importance of speaking out against hate crimes and standing up for justice and equality for all.
