Wear it Purple Day has a simple message — everybody has the right to be proud of who they are. Now an international day of recognition, held on the last Friday in August, Wear it Purple was launched in Australia in 2010 and strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for LGBTIQA+ people everywhere. The theme for Wear It Purple Day this year is “Your Passion, Your Pride”, which shines a light on the schools, community organisations, universities, and workplaces that are coming together to create a more inclusive future for all Australians. Events are being held across S&A sites to celebrate the day. (Image credit: Nicky Tsekouras/wearitpurple.org)
