Oxford Street security guards will wear vests with pride flags on them in a new initiative funded by the City of Sydney that forms part of a broader campaign to ensure the strip remains a safe space for people of diverse sexualities and genders.

The organisers of Flash, a weekly gay dance party at Darlinghurst’s Two 3 One, have responded to a late-night City of Sydney inspection that halted entry to the event over capacity and safety concerns, issuing a public statement outlining what went wrong and how they’re planning to fix it.
