July 14 is International Non-Binary Day! Today we celebrate all the wonderful people in the WA community who identify under the non-binary umbrella. Not sure what non-binary means? A non-binary person is someone who does not identify as exclusively a man or a woman. Someone who is non-binary might feel like a mix of genders, or like they have no gender at all. If you want to learn more about nonbinary people, Minus18 has a great resource here --- https://www.minus18.org.au/articles/i-just-came-out-as-non-binary-here%27s-what-that-means/ #nonbinary #internationalnonbinaryday

As a community-based organisation Living Proud relies on its membership base! Our membership gives us our community mandate. It is also an important source of income for us.
Our services rely on volunteers. We are keen to hear from people up for the challenges and benefits that volunteering can bring.
We rely on the generosity of our supporters to make a difference. We work towards equal health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+SB people in WA. We do this in various ways:
Living Proud acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia, their diversity, histories and knowledge and their continuing connections to land and community. We pay our respects to all Australian Indigenous Peoples and their cultures, and to Elders of past and present.
