Join Star Observer in front of The Colombian on June 29 at 8pm, to be a part of the official celebration photo, as we commemorate four and a half decades of quality journalism and fearless reporting for the LGBTQI community.

While striking a pose, register your email address for a chance to win a trip for two to Honolulu courtesy of Hawaiian Airlines. Stay for three nights in the Rainbow State’s favourite gaybourhood: Waikiki, courtesy of Hawaii Tourism.

Hike up Diamond Head for breathtaking views, explore historic Pearl Harbor, and soak up some sun on Waikīkī Beach, an epicentre of Queer culture and nightlife.

With its beautiful beaches, crystal blue water, and vibrant culture, Hawaii seduces all who visit.

Our story started in 1979. It was a time when sex between members of the same gender was a criminal act, with people being jailed simply for being gay. Sydney’s gay and lesbian community was reeling from vicious police attacks during the city’s first Mardi Gras protest march. A wave of political momentum was building, demanding equality and justice for Queer Australians.

Now Star Observer is Australia’s largest news journals of record for the LGBTQI community.

Don’t miss out on a chance to be a part of this historic event.

Hawaiian Airlines is Hawaii’s biggest and longest-serving airline, having been in business for 93 years. They are a sponsor of Honolulu Pride and a supporter of The Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation, whose mission is to “educate, facilitate and empower LBGTQA+ people as integral members of Hawaiʻi’s diverse community.”

When: June 29 2023, 8 pm.
Where: The Colombian, 117/125 Oxford St, Darlinghurst

  1. I would love to be there and will try to be there by 8!
    I’m a straight ally since 1970 and I’m old enough to remember Capriccio’s!
    And whirling around Oxford Street throwing whammies at hot numbers!

  2. Congratulations on 45 successful years of publishing the Star Observer. It must have been extremely difficult at the start. You have a vibrant and interesting publication.
    We wont attend outside The Colombian, as I cannot stand for long periods of time, and it would be inappropriate for my husband and I to win the trip to the Gaybourhood, unless we gave it to our gay son!!
    It’s a terrific idea for a celebration, and we wish you well for June 29 and for the future of the Star Observer
