Safety shouldn’t be selective. It should be for all of us.

Right now, too many people in our communities don’t feel safe. We’ve seen a rise in harassment and violence, and we’re still working within laws that don’t fully protect LGBTIQA+ people in WA.

This month, we are calling for change and we're asking you to add your voice to amplify the message. Here's how:

🚩share this and other posts from us, Youth Pride Network - YPN, and Rainbow Futures WA during the month of May.

On International Asexuality Day, we celebrate our asexual community across the diverse spectrum of identities!

Asexuality (or "ace") is an umbrella term describing a sexual orientation characterized by experiencing little to no sexual attraction to others. It's a spectrum that includes identities like demisexual, greysexual and more. People identifying as asexual may still feel romantic attraction but not sexual attraction.

Asexuality is often dismissed or misunderstood. At Living Proud, we recognise you and embrace you. You are valid. You are seen.
