"This highlights the daily pressures that the LGBTIQ community faces," Terese Casu, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras CEO, said in a statement.

"It's a simple and loving gesture to hold your partner's hand, however for fear of discrimination, and experiences in violence and abuse -- the reality is that many in the community still don't feel safe. We love the awareness that ANZ is raising about this issue for the community."
