Over 5,000 Naked People at the Sydney Opera House

12th March, 2010 by Dr. Teesha Morgan

(Click here to watch a short video on the event)

Less than two weeks ago thousands of Sydney residents congregated at the famous Opera House to shed their cloths in support of a free and equal society. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras commissioned the famous American artist Spencer Tunick to take the picture, however neither party expected such a tremendous turn out.

Among the naked supporters were a pregnant woman (who was taken to the hospital shortly after the shooting to give birth) and a local weather man, who showed Sydney more than just the daily forecast.

“Gay men and women lay naked next to their straight neighbours and this delivered a very strong message” Tunick said. This was a message to the world, a message letting them know what Australians really embrace. It is stories like these, and individuals like Tunick, that help to spread these ideas to the rest of the world. Ideas that speak to the sameness of individuals, regardless of their sexual preferences.

Whenever I hear of such amazing events happening within our society I’m always moved. I often struggle with thinking optimistically about the future of gay rights, animals rights and mother nature’s rights. However stories like this bring me back to the power of the human spirit and the direction we’re moving in.

Thank you Tunick and thank you Sydney, for paving the way to equality…. one naked butt cheek at a time.

    Hi, i heard your blog in the 9 pm radioshow on radioactive New Jersey, they created a show all over running a blog and web 2.0. Shortly after that show i’ll hit the trail to your statement about Better Sex with Dr Teesha » Blog Archive » Over 5,000 Naked People at the Sydney Opera House. Hot job mate! I hits the point – Its excellent to have a look at only one blog writer out of quite a lot i look over which has knowledge of what he is writing about! Keep on your way.
