IDAHOBIT International Day Against LGBTQIA+ discrimination 🌈
I envision a world where everyone is welcomed, valued, and celebrated as we live our best lives, free from discrimination 🏳️⚧️
Today, and every day, I am committed to supporting our gender journey.
Join me in standing against discrimination and celebrating the resilience and vibrancy of transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary communities everywhere.
We're getting there. Slowly 🫶
May 17th 1990 was the day when the World Heath Organisation removed homosexuality from the classification of diseases 🧡
The first Mardi Gras pride march was held in Sydney in 1978, which was met with violence from police.
Those who marched were beaten inside police cells and had their names published by the Sydney Morning Herald 🩵
Tasmania was the last jurisdiction in Australia to decriminalise homosexuality in May 1997.
Many Australians today were alive during a time when it was illegal to be gay 💜
The Marriage Equality plebiscite was held in 2017. While marriage equality was passed, 38.4% of Australians who voted, 4.8 million people voted against it.
4.8 MILLION voted against LOVE.
SHAME ON YOU.
Shame on you for not allowing yourself to learn.
Of course gender and sexuality are two very different things, and I am here, ready to educate you if you're ready to listen 💛
