ππ Happy Wear It Purple Day 2026! ππ
Today, we come together to celebrate, uplift and support LGBTIQ+SB young people and remind them that they are seen, valued and loved for exactly who they are. πβ¨
Wear It Purple Day is about more than wearing purple. Itβs about making a visible statement that LGBTIQ+SB young people belong in our families, schools, workplaces, sporting clubs and communities.
When we wear purple, weβre saying:
π You are seen.
Your voice, experiences and identity matter.
π You are valued.
You deserve respect, dignity and the freedom to be your authentic self.
π You belong.
There is a place for you here, and you deserve to feel safe, welcome and supported.
π To every LGBTIQ+SB young person: your voice matters, your story matters and your future matters.
And to the parents, families, friends, teachers, organisations and allies who stand beside young people: thank you for showing up, speaking up and helping create communities where everyone can belong.
Letβs make our support visible today, and keep it going long after the purple comes off.
Wear purple. Show your support. Stand together. ππβ¨
