Today was a sea of purple to acknowledge Wear It Purple Day! Breakfasts, BBQs, cupcakes and more were eaten while the importance of Wear It Purple Day was talked about in schools, workplaces and groups. Wear It Purple Day recognises the devastating impact that bullying, discrimination and exclusion has on LGBTQIA+SB young people. We Wear It Purple Day because we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, supported and proud of who they are. We Wear It Purple so they know we see them and we are here for them! #wearitpurpleday2026 #WIP2026 #lgbtiqa

For the first time, the ABS Census is collecting data related to the LGBTQA+ community in Australia. So what do you need to know? There are three new questions in the 2026 Census. For people aged 16 years and older, the Census now includes questions about: 🌈Sexual orientation 🌈Gender 🌈Sex recorded at birth This information will help build a better picture of LGBTQA+ people in Australia, their needs and what services are required. For anyone who wants to complete a Census separately from your household, call the Census Contact Centre on 1800 181 227 to receive a Census number for the online form. Complete the Census online by TUES 11 AUG 2026 at start.census.abs.gov.au #lgbtiqa #census2026 #census2026LGBTQA
Today, a WA One Nation candidate said that "gay people have mental illness". As a LGBTIQA+SB peer organisation that has supported community for over 50 years, we will not stand by quietly while public figures make these ignorant comments. We will continue working toward Living Proud's vision: 'All LGBTIQA+SB people in Western Australia are safe, connected, respected, and supported to experience strong health, wellbeing, and belonging.' We stand together. If you need support, call or webchat with QLife on 1800 184 527 3pm to 9pm, every day of the week.
