Kylie’s fans in the gay community have been key to her success as an artist.
In this brief news clip, we see Kylie right in the thick of the action at the 2019 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, where she popped up as a surprise guest.
Seven’s footage from the parade captures Kylie walking along Oxford Street, surrounded by drag queens and parade-goers dressed in various Kylie costumes to honour her as an icon of the gay community.
In an interview snippet, Kylie says she’s excited to be back at Mardi Gras and to see how attitudes towards the event have changed.
