Introducing Our Young Leaders
Over the next 10 months, our Minus18 Young Leaders will learn from LGBTQIA+ icons, build leadership skills, and help bring our events to life. This Midsumma marks their first three queer youth events! We can't wait to see what they achieve.
What else is on?
There's SO much happening during Midsumma – especially at our home, the Victorian Pride Centre. Check it all out below.
Further resources
Creating inclusive classrooms and a school environment that promotes LGBTQIA+ inclusion is essential for the learning and development of students.
Understanding how to be a trans ally isn't just for those outside the LGBTQIA+ community – it's also for cisgender queers.
Bisexual, pansexual – they're similar, they're different, and both totally valid identities.
Crappy myths about being bi like "you're just confused" or "greedy" or more likely to cheat – we're 100% busting them, right now.
