‘As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I try to celebrate Pride as much as I can even if it’s only in the little things that I do. I celebrate Pride through the art that I make which I will then share with others. I celebrate Pride with my loved ones who are also members or allies with the Community. I think the biggest way I celebrate Pride, however, is teaching my parents about the Community. I want to teach people who may not know a lot about it as much as I can as education on the subject leads to a greater understanding of one another.’ Alice Farmer
‘I celebrate Pride by being, firstly, living unapologetically everyday – it has taken long enough to get to this point! One way I do this is by taking my partner out on dates and using every reasonable opportunity to show that we are a couple. I also keep writing gratitudes about my experiences to remind myself that there are many people who are still unable to express themselves as freely. More than anything, though, I am grateful for even having someone with whom to share my life.’ Abdulmugheeth Petersen

How Do You Prid ‘I celebrate Pride with flags and stickers, bright colours and parades. I celebrate Pride with friends and peers gathering over coffee or wine. I celebrate Pride by a conscious choice each day to live my truth and in creating a space for others to do the same. I celebrate Pride by loving myself and others openly and honestly.’ Alexa Gordon
‘I celebrate Pride by embracing my commonality with other people and respecting our differences.’ John Grey
