It’s the 26th of August and its Wear It With Purple Day – a day to support LGBTIQ youth and their allies.
JOY 94.9’s Dean Beck went along to Elwood College to witness grass-roots community advocacy and activism at its best.
16-year-old Trans advocate and Elwood College student Georgie Stone initiated and facilitated the event. Georgie and her family featured on Australian Story recently to discuss her very personal story of growing up as a young trans girl.
The assembled students and onlookers watched a screening of the About A Girl (ABC, Australian Story Aug 2016), then Georgie conducted a panel conversation featuring Victoria’s Minister for Mental Health and Equality, Martin Foley, Victoria’s Commissioner for Gender and Sexuality, Ro Allen and Georgie’s mum, a change-maker and founder of Transcend, Rebekah Robertson.
At the conclusion of the panel conversation, Dean Beck caught up with Minister Foley who announced that the Andrew’s Labor Government will continue it’s commitment to the HEY Grants, delivering a new offering of $1M to support LGBTI Youth and their mental health outcomes.
