Happy Wear it Purple Day! 💜🏳️🌈 Today, we stand with LGBTQIA+ young people and their allies, celebrating the schools, community organisations, universities and workplaces helping to build a more inclusive future for everyone. This year's theme is 'Colours or Courage' and it celebrates the many different forms of courage shown by LGBTQIA+SB young people, allies and communities every day.
Courage can look like speaking up, standing out and creating change. It can also take quieter forms of bravery, like living authentically, coming out, asking for support, standing beside someone, or choosing pride and hope in spaces where being yourself does not always feel easy.
By wearing purple, we show LGBTQIA+ young people that they are seen, valued and supported — and that every person has the right to be proud of who they are and who they are becoming.
