24.01.2022 ZBGC was honored to support young LGBTIQA+ people in Geelong at GASP (Geelong Youth) to produce this new poster "Stand Together, unite against discrimination".... We'd like to thank all the young people who attended our LGBTIQA+ poster making session and for your amazing contributions. The voices of young LGBTIQA+ people are powerful in creating cultural change and advocacy, its great to see their leadership and strength. I'm sure your messages will have a significant impact not only on the wider LGBTIQA+ community but also for other communities who may also experience discrimination. Its important to acknowledge and recognise that often it's the very same system that oppress many minority communities, for our human rights to improve it will take all of us working together. We'd like to thank our partner organisations Rainbow Network, Rainbow Health Victoria and the staff at GASP in Geelong for their support in the development and distribution of this resource. The posters should arrive next week where you'll be able to order copies through Rainbow Heath Victoria, Rainbow Network, the Youth Department at the City of Great Geelong, or arrange a time to pick some up from the ZBGC offices at Cohealth in Collingwood or download directly from our website www.zbgc.org.au
