Why is Pride Month in June?

International Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment and movement in the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights.

Grow Queer Formal With Your Pride Month Donations

We’re dedicating every donation made this June to something very special: growing the impact of Queer Formal® to a new location in 2027. Support us to take Queer Formal to a city in Australia we’ve never been to before – our first new location in seven years.

Every $50 Means Another Teen Attends for Free

Our goal? $100K in donations, to ensure we head to a new city sustainably, safely, and for years to come. And of course, so all tickets remains free, always. Every $50 means another queer teen attends for free.

Grab Your Pride Month Merch

Show your unique pride or grab ally goodies to champion LGBTQIA+ inclusion year round. And the best bit: 100% of net proceeds directly supports our life-changing work.

Why Does Queer Visibility Matter?

Today, queer people are represented throughout pop culture – appearing in TV shows, movies and on our radios. But it hasn't always been like this.

CHAMPIONS FOR LGBTQIA+ YOUTH

CHANGING THE LIVES OF LGBTQIA+ YOUTH IN AUSTRALIA

We’re leading change, building social inclusion, and advocating for an Australia where all young people are safe, empowered, and surrounded by people that support them.

Life-affirming social inclusion

Through a preventative model of mental health support, we tackle social isolation by creating spaces where young people belong.

Education & advocacy

We transform communities through LGBTQIA+ training, resources, and digital campaigns that enable others to champion inclusivity.

Youth empowerment

We believe in equipping young people with the skills they need to be at the forefront of driving change.

Happy youth

Minus18 is located on the land of the Yalakut Weelam Clan of the Boon Wurrung peoples, Australia’s First People and Traditional Custodians. We acknowledge their continued connection and contribution to land, water and community, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded; this always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
