THE organiser of Mount Isa’s first gay rights rally said preparations were on track for Sunday’s event.

James Newburrie said he wasn’t expecting a large turnout outside Member for Kennedy Bob Katter’s office however this would not detract from the event’s significance.

“I think it will most likely be just one short fat guy holding a sign,” he said.

Mr Newburrie said the rally would draw attention to “two massive issues” facing homosexual rights.

Rally details: Sunday 11 September, 11am, 42 Simpson Street, Mount Isa.
