Sydney World Pride kicks off this Friday. 

The LBGTQIA+ festival is a nearly three-week celebration of Queer Pride. 

Crystal Love, a Trans-activist Sister Girl from the First Nations Community will be performing at the festival. 

She says she hopes the festival will enable better medical care for the First Nations Trans-community. 

‘We need more information about medicines that could help these Trans -women and gay people and more government assistance to help our people deliver a better life,’’ she said.

‘‘Some girls when they have female feminisation, some girls don’t have the money.’'

Sydney this year will be held from 17 February to 5 March.
