MINI: A year on from protests, Dean reflects on the importance of IDAHOBIT

Government & Organisations, Kids & Family, News & Politics, Society & Culture

A year ago on IDAHOBIT, Dean was in a full drag face doing JOY Breakfast with Rach ready to do do a drag story time like none he had done before.

With over 40 people protesting the event in Eltham, but even more coming together to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ communities and Rainbow Families, this was also the day that the Rainbow Community Angels were born, a grass roots initiative that has community coming together to allow rainbow youth events to not only survive, but thrive.

In this day last year Dean (as Frock) made national news, but was also a part of a community wave that helped changed the narrative about story time in mainstream media.

But how are things one year on.

He takes a minute out of JOY Breakfast to reflect on that.
