Anyone need some great music for a Thursday afternoon during #PrideMonth2021? How about some Kate Pierson (of B52's fame?)! Hey Mister Sister! youtube.com/watch?v=VZzSgYQl…

Half way through #PrideMonth & thought it's good to make this point! Coming Out is a process that you need to be comfortable with. It's your personal decision. This is why being "outed" is so stressful despite being something you really should not be ashamed of. #youvegotthis

Fantastic explanation of 2 Spirit, and the devastating effects colonization and religion had (and can continue to have) on people. Erasing and villifying aspects of life that were completely normal to their own society #2spirit #PrideMonth #loveislove fb.watch/64VUNrwna3/
On this day, in 1990, the World Health Organisation declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. We've come a long way since then, but there is much more work to be done – in Australia, and around the world – to ensure our communities live free from discrimination.

Fascinating 2018 study from that has shown the gay couples are 10-15% more common in areas where there was historical gold mining. Partly because these areas were away from prevailing law & religious persecution. Read the full paper here: socialsciences.uottawa.ca/ec…

"Coming Out" is an important process, but the risk of not being accepted is high. Did you know that almost 50% of LGBTQ+ employees have to come out at least weekly? It's harder for young employees & women. Even simple questions lead to "do I come out, or stay quiet" dichotomies.

Do you know the story of "Lesbians & Gays Support Miners"? In the mid-1980s, Thatcher stamped down the miners, bringing poverty. LGSM raised money for support; then in 1985 Welsh #Miners joined #Pride Parade, putting #gay rights onto the new gov manifesto historyatnorthampton.com/202…

What is LGBTQIA2S+? It stands for #lesbian #gay #bisexual #transgender #questioning #intersex, #asexual and #twospirit. We are human - we are your colleagues, your friends and your family - it is a spectrum of characters that work in #mining and #exploration alongside you!
