The legalization of marriage equality at the end of 2017 opened the floodgates for alternative culture—from out-and-proud artists to queer-themed television—on the global stage, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Priscilla. It took you a while to get here, Australia, but we’re glad you’ve arrived. It’s with good reason that you’re often called Oz—you cast a wizardly spell.
