22.01.2022 The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month or just Pride Month for short, is an annual holiday celebrated in the month of June that commemorates the Stonewall riots of 1968 in Manhattan. While during the 50’s and 60’s, the concept of being gay was never spoken of or publicly expressed due to the pressure of American society and the social norms that viewed being gay as a taboo and a mental disorder. Thus, at the tip of the iceberg, when the Stonewall Inn started ...being raided by police because it was a gay bar, people started retaliating against police in defense of the gay bar and their believed right to be gay in the world. LGBT pride has since been growing steadily over the past few decades, even when LGBT was considered taboo during the 70’s and 80’s. As more people started backing up the movement and people started understanding what being gay meant, Pride Month started becoming a popular concept during the 90’s and 2000’s. Multiple holidays around out of the LGBT movement and Pride Month has become one of the biggest celebrations all over the United States, with its main center of action in New York City. In NYC, parades would commence along the streets and people would dress up in their most colorful and prideful outfits and celebrate the LGBT community for everyone to see.

08.01.2022 To celebrate NAIDOC week we are doing a few profiles of inspiring Indigenous Australians in Communication and Media. This is our second profile in the series and we are introducing you to Bruce Pascoe the Author of Dark Emu. Dark Emu argues for a reconsideration of the ‘hunter-gatherer’ tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession. Accomplished author Bruce Pascoe provides compelling evidence f...rom the diaries of early explorers that suggests that systems of food production and land management have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia’s past is required. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing: behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. . . . #NAIDOC #NAIDOCWEEK #NAIDOC2020
