Whitney Barron greets Chrystall Cooper during the annual Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia, on March 2, 2019. It is the first time the charity “Haka For Life” has had a float in the Sydney Mardi Gras parade. The float is designed like a Waka Canoe, which is significant in Maori culture, with the theme of “One Waka, One Love, we’re all in the same boat together.” Haka For Life is an organization focused on men’s health, wellbeing and suicide prevention in the Maori community. The organization believes there is a stigma among Maori warrior culture that implies that people who identify as LGBTQI are not warriors. The Sydney Mardi Gras parade began in 1978 as a march and commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall Riots of New York. It is an annual event promoting awareness of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues and themes. ( Lisa Maree Williams / Getty)
