SUMMARY:Marriage Equality and Resurgent Prejudice in Australia: Guest Speaker Janet Rice
DESCRIPTION:Join the launch of Marriage Equality and Resurgent Prejudice in Australia with authors James Bennett and David Betts\, along with former Greens Senator Janet Rice as Guest Speaker. Hosted by Nick Henderson\, Australian Queer Archives collections manager. \nIn 2017\, Australia finally said “yes” to marriage equality—but the story didn’t end there. \nMarriage Equality and Resurgent Prejudice in Australia traces what happened after the celebrations faded. Drawing on in‑depth interviews with the rainbow community in Newcastle and the Hunter region\, James Bennett and David Betts reveal how legal victory coexisted with renewed hostility\, subtle exclusions\, and emboldened reactionary politics. \nIntroducing the concept of resurgent prejudice\, the book shows how gains in sexual citizenship can trigger new forms of backlash—from everyday encounters to organised campaigns around “religious freedom” and anti-gender movements. \nRichly grounded in local voices yet sharply attuned to national debates\, this is a vital account of life after marriage equality—and a warning about the unfinished work of LGBTQ+ justice in contemporary Australia. \nLimited physical copies of the book will be available\, with an ebook also available.

SUMMARY:Nominations Open: February 1st – March 31st
- 2026 People Choice Awards - Euphoria Social & Tim Lai
DESCRIPTION:This is your chance to shine a light on the everyday heroes\, quiet achievers\, and bold changemakers who make our community safer\, stronger\, and more joyful. \nWhether they work behind the scenes or take centre stage\, we want to hear about the people\, groups\, and initiatives that are creating real impact. This is a grassroots\, volunteer-led celebration — nominations are open to everyone in the LGBTQIAPN+ community and our allies across Victoria and surrounds. \nThese awards are not about titles or popularity.\nThey’re about belonging.\nThey’re about showing up.\nThey’re about community-led change. \nNominate someone whose work has touched lives — including your own. \nWe have a range of categories to recognise all kinds of contributions: \nCommunity Leader of the Year – Sponsored by With Pride Finance\nGrassroots Champion\nVolunteer of the Year\nPerformer or Artist of the Year\nStoryteller or Media Maker of the Year\nRegional Spotlight Award\nFirst Nations LGBTQIAPN+ Voice\nInclusive Organisation or Initiative of the Year – Sponsored by Joy Media\nEuphoria Social Family Award \nCan’t find a category that fits? No worries. Some people just don’t fit neatly into a box — maybe they’re a fashion icon\, a community motivator\, or a joy-bringer whose impact is felt in countless small ways. These nominees can go into the People’s Choice – Special Recognition Award\, letting the community celebrate those who make a real difference in ways that can’t be captured in a title.

SUMMARY:Wear it Purple Day Future LGBTIQA+ Leaders Panel
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Wear It Purple Day\, join us at the Victorian Pride Centre for a special panel event showcasing the voices of future LGBTIQA+ leaders\, presented in partnership with Endeavour Group and supported by Minus18. \nThis year’s theme\, “Bold voices\, bright futures”\, sets the tone for a powerful conversation as four inspiring young advocates share their personal journeys\, explore what leadership means to them\, and reflect on the impact of youth-led change in our communities. \nOUR PANELISTS: \n  \n \n  \nAbbie Jane (she/her) –  \nAbbie Jane (she/her) founded the Rainbow Shoelace Project in 2022 when she was just 12 years old and living in the remote town of Broken Hill\, Australia. What started with Abbie giving away free rainbow beads for people to wear on their shoelaces to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community is now a global movement\, with more than 350\,000 packets of free beads given away. \nIn 2023\, Abbie attended World Pride in Sydney to represent the Rainbow Shoelace Project\, was awarded the Regional Entrepreneur of the Year at the Teens in Business Awards. Abbie has presented at the Pride in Practice conference in 2023 (when she was 14 years old) and 2024 (aged 15). \nAbbie has travelled around Australia attending PRIDE festivals to hand out free beads and has been a guest speaker for a number of businesses. In 2024\, Abbie was named “One to Watch” at the NSW Women of the Year Awards and she was awarded the Young Achiever Award in the ACON Honour Awards for outstanding achievements in campaigning for rainbow inclusion and equality. Abbie is supported by people like Dannii Minogue and Miriam Margolyes\, and in 2025\, Abbie has co-authored a children’s picture book about the Rainbow Shoelace Project. \nNow 15\, Abbie is a change-maker and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. Her ability to cultivate support for issues that affect her community and passion for driving change make her a real force for the future. \nKeiran Molaeb (he/him)  –  \nKeiran Molaeb (he/him) is a queer transgender man currently working and studying in Naarm. He was a part of the 2022–2023 Young Leaders Program with Minus18 and has since gone on to\npursue formal education in Fine Arts at VCA (Victorian College of the Arts)\, specialising in painting. As part of the 2024 VCA Graduate Exhibition\, Keiran’s work received the Majlis Art\nAward\, and he is currently completing his Honours degree in Fine Art. \nAs an emerging artist\, Keiran has shown his work at the Islamic Museum of Art\, West Space\, the Melbourne Arts Centre\, Youkobo Art Space in Tokyo\, and will have his debut solo exhibition in\nOctober at the George Paton Gallery in Melbourne. \nKeiran remains deeply engaged in community participation and activism. He has been a part of many community fundraisers\, events\, and talks\, and continues to dedicate himself to social advocacy\, leadership\, and change. With a focus on intersectionality and solidarity for people with culturally diverse backgrounds who identify as LGBTQIA+\, Keiran is passionate about contributing to positive representation\, building community and support networks\, and advocating for increased education in LGBTQIA+ support. \nEnfys Jones (they/them) –  \nEnfys (they/them) is a passionate young adult who loves numbers\, stories\, and creativity. At 24\, they began studying Gender Studies and are committed to enjoying it to its full potential —\nhowever long it takes to complete the degree. They’re currently hoping it will lead to exciting research opportunities. Enfys lives in a queer and neurodiverse-friendly household\, where weekends and evenings are spent info-dumping and playing games with chosen family. In their spare time\, they enjoy writing\, media analysis\, and listening to music. (They also love the Oxford comma.)\nAmong their many creative and nerdy hobbies\, Enfys is driven by a love of helping others and often seeks out volunteering opportunities. They’re learning to harness the power of speaking up — discovering that sharing why something was hard can truly make a difference. For Enfys\, making everyday processes easier for those who come after them is just as meaningful as any other work they do. \nAlicia Herrera (she/her) –  \nAlicia Herrera is a queer\, neurodiverse\, and culturally linguistic communications professional with a passion for fostering inclusion and equity. With a Bachelor of Communications and experience in diversity focused roles\, Alicia has led initiatives amplifying underrepresented voices as a 2024 Minus18 Young Leader and Pinnacle Foundation Alumni\, Alicia’s advocacy spans public speaking\, youth engagement\, and digital innovation. Her lived experiences at the intersections of identity fuel her commitment to creating spaces where all people feel seen\, heard\, and valued. \nThis event is open to and free for all. Morning tea will be provided following the panel.
