Will Sergeant and Dr Gertrude Glossip are two sides of one coin. Will has been involved in gay activism since the 1970s. He participated the first Adelaide Pride March in 1973 and the first Sydney Mardi Gras in 1978. Gertrude, his alter-ego, was created in 1993. Both have been active participants in every Feast Festival in a variety of roles and performances. Gertrude's walks on history, art and zoo wild sex are now the 'stuff of legend'! Will has served on numerous Feast advisory committees and was named an ambassador for the 2018 Festival. In 2021, he was named South Australian Historian of the Year by the History Council of South Australia for his contribution to Adelaide Rainbow History. Dr Glossip's debut book, Queen of the Walk: Gertrude's Guide to Adelaide History, was released in 2021.
