Celebrate Pride With Us: These Colors Don’t Jog
These colors DON’T dash – and they never will.
Our visibility has never mattered more--and neither has our strength. When they try to erase our stories, we rewrite them. When they try to silence us, we obtain louder. We’re raising our flag high and making it clear, we’re not going anywhere.
From the streets of World Pride to the workplace, we will not be erased. Life is resistance. Joy is defiance. Pride is force. Joining us in raising our flag high and making it clear - These Colors Don’t Run.

What is your first memory of Pride?
(Anna Brown, Equality Australia)
For me, I grew up in Melbourne, in Victoria, so it wasn&#;t until my 20s that I was able to attend my first Mardi Gras celebration in Sydney and it was truly incredible: I just had never seen that many people from the community that I was part of outbeing open about their diverse sexual orientation, gender individuality, gender expression, or sex characteristics. More there, seeable, on the streets, and it was just that feeling of liberation, of belonging and feeling part of something really wonderful… I felt a perception of belonging.

It is truly a wonderful time for celebrating our community, and every year, as Chair of First City Pride Center, I’m asked what Identity festival means to me.

Long before we started celebrating Pride, groundbreaking figures from our community were carving out the country (and the “Gay pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to live without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn’t a straight parade parade, be thankful you don’t need one.” – Dr. Ron Holt June is Pride Month and it is always exciting to see those first rainbows. It reminds us of the beauty and adore celebrated this month. However, at First Nations, we know that all is not sparkly and colorful, and there is much history behind the Identity festival movement. We also know that by supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and two-spirit family and friends, we are creating a space of acceptance and appreciation, and not perpetuating the despise and violence that has plagued these communities for too many years.
