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.

Every person has their own unique memories and experiences, but it’s odd that often the struggles stand out far more vividly than the positive times.

I Want it That Gay is a cabaret-comedy that sheds light and humour on the challenges of growing up with starkly heteronormative music, popstars and paradigms.

Showing at the Tuggeranong Art Centre on Saturday, 13 April, Cara shares her thoughts about her new show.
