Macca and Nevena talk to Flis Marlow about the new Rainbow Community Angels project to protect LGBTIQA community at Drag story-time events in Melbourne.
A group of LGBTQI community advocates, drag performers, trans and gender diverse people and rainbow families are pinning their hopes on a new community-led safety initiative launched last week in Melbourne. Aptly named, Rainbow Community Angels, the group has offered its presence to local Councils, libraries and cafes that plan to organise LGBTQI events.
The group said it will work with staff “to increase event safety through our highly visible, peaceful, supportive community presence.” A Gofundme campaign to raise funds for the initiative, raised over $11,000 in 24 hours.
According to the crowdfunding page, community members and allies will be trained to “take part in peaceful actions to support community safety at inclusive events like Drag Storytime” whilst wearing magnificent angel wings.
