Night at the Museum
It wouldn't be Midsumma without a Minus18 event for queer youth! Join us on Jan 27 for a night of music, drag, zine-making, dancing under the stars, and roaming the museum after dark. For ages 12 to 19 only!
Join us at Pride March
We're inviting our whole community of LGBTQIA+ youth to march with us, alongside their family, friends, pets, supporters and alllies. Join us for a safe, celebratory, pride-filled afternoon! Registrations free but essential.
Support Our Work
Now more than ever, your support donations help us create safe spaces for queer youth to connect, make friends, and truly celebrate their LGBTQIA+ identities. We couldn't do it without you.
What else is on?
There's SO much happening during Midsumma – especially at our home, the Victorian Pride Centre. Check it all out below.
Further resources
Today, queer people are represented throughout pop culture – appearing in TV shows, movies and on our radios. But it hasn't always been like this.
There are loads of different identities that make up the LGBTQIA+ acronym, and the queer community. It can feel overwhelming, but it's more simple than you might think!
It's important to be an ally to the trans and gender diverse community, but it can be hard to know exactly what to do.
There are so many ways to support and celebrate your child, no matter their age or your level of knowledge. Believe us, it makes a huge difference!
