About the Rainbow Shoelace Project
The Rainbow Shoelace Project is a grassroots initiative founded by Abbie in Broken Hill, aiming to show solidarity with queer kids and their allies. What started as a small act of kindness—distributing Pride flag-colored shoelace beads—has grown into a movement that is making a difference in the lives of many young people.
