💜🌈 Carers Queensland was proud to attend Gay Skate in celebration of Wear It Purple Day.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our LGBTQIA+SB community members, share information about our services, and stand alongside LGBTIQA+ young people.

While many young people continue to experience discrimination, exclusion, and oppression, events like Gay Skate help foster inclusion, connection, and a sense of belonging.

PRIDE IN THE M-F PLAZA

This project presents two photographs of a femme le***an wearing playful outfits, roller skates, and rainbow pride accessories, set in stark contrast with police and security guards in a brightly lit shopping centre.

The retail setting with its polished surfaces and everyday ordinariness becomes an unexpected stage for protest, visibility, and q***r presence during Loud & Proud Logan’s Pride In The Plaza project by Assorted Grains Inc

By placing a proud and visibly q***r femme body in this commercially owned public space, I draw attention to the absurdity of needing to continue activism simply for LGBTIQA+SB community to exist safety and equitably in 2026.

The work responds to the ongoing right-wing backlash against LGBTQIA+ identities in Queensland, especially conservative transphobic government policy and public discourse. It explores the tension between resistance and celebration, where visibility and joy become survival tools as well as political acts.

Roller skating is central to this work: Gay Skate is both a grassroots community and a playful, powerful platform for activism. It brings us together to enjoy q***r culture, reclaim our bodies and express ourselves through movement while building community cohesion and resilience.

Through humour, performance, and contradiction these images show that visible q***r existence itself can be a form of defiance and they capture a moment during an unexpected era of regression and erosion of safety affecting the LGBTIQA+SB community.
