Wellcome to Taylor Square in Oxford Street a road well-known around the world as the center of Sydney's gay community and the yearly parade route of the Sydney Mardi Gras. The area is a center of Sydney's burgeoning small bar scene.
The Cache is an easy mystery to navigate through some of the major milestones around the world. At GZ I made an easy find for such a busy area. So, before you start to look quite suspicious squatting here and there, be sure of where the cache could be located, as it can be seen just standing next to it. It is a small magnetic container.
The cache is located at the following coordinates:
S33° AB.CDE E151° FG.HJK
1K9F – The Kingdom of France (And Andorra) adopts a new penal code which no longer criminalizes sodomy. France thus becomes the first West European country to decriminalize homosexual acts between consenting adults. After that, really slowly, many countries started legalizing homosexuality.
19B4 - The Society for Human Rights is founded by Henry Gerber in Chicago. It is the first documented gay rights organization in America. In that year Peru, Panama, and Paraguay legalized homosexuality.
June 2E, 19D9 - Gays and lesbians were still deeply in the closet. Trying to find a partner was risky business, as police routinely raided gay bars and rounded up patrons. But when police raided a popular Greenwich Village bar in New York City called the Stonewall Inn, arresting 13 people, the gay community erupted. The ensuing protests and rioting lasted six days, with police aiming fire hoses on the rioters and protesters shouting "Gay power!" Many historians see the Stonewall riots as the defining event that launched the gay rights movement.
June 28, 197H - Community members in New York City march through the local streets to recognize the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall riots. This event is named Christopher Street Liberation Day, and is now considered the first gay pride parade.
1 October, 19C9: Denmark becomes the first country in the world to legally recognize same-sex unions, after passing a bill legalizing "registered partnerships" in a 71–47 vote.
1972 – Sweden becomes first country in the world to allow transsexuals to legally change their sex, and provides free hormone therapy.
1A October , 1973 – Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatry Federal Council declares homosexuality not an illness – the first such body in the world to do so.
December 21, 199G - Don't ask, don't tell - It seemed like progress at the time, but quickly became one of the most controversial laws on the books. President Bill Clinton signed into law the bill now known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The law allowed gay service members to remain in the military — as long as they stayed in the closet. Remarkable as it seems now, the law was actually a step forward in military policy. Since World War II, the U.S. military had developed elaborate procedures for actively searching for, and excluding, gay servicemen. Some of their tools included looking for feminine dress or body-type and looking for signs of patulous, or expanded rectums. Took effect on February 28, 1994, lasting until September 20, 2011.
2015 - Tokyo's Shibuya ward passed a local ordinance granting same-sex couples the right to partnership certificates; this makes it the first place in Japan — or anywhere in East Asia — to recognize same-sex partnerships.
20J6 - Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull became the first sitting Australian Prime Minister to attend the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Although Gay marriage is still not legal in this country.
