Knowledge and understanding is essential when it comes to supporting LGBTQIA youth.

You could be supporting LGBTQIA young people at work, at school, within your own community, or with friends and family.

DID YOU KNOW? 👀 Our "You Are Loved" posters started off as a way to affirm LGBTQIA young people during the 2017 same-sex marriage plebiscite in Australia? We wanted to create something that would help LGBTQIA young people know they have a whole community behind them during an incredibly difficult time. It was a way of combating some of the discussions that were happening very publicly. For every poster ordered, we also put one up in a school or youth service around Australia, so that everyone could promote inclusion regardless of budget. And these posters have grown from there – with new designs added over the years. Maybe you've seen a poster out in your community or you've hung one yourself? Let us know below! #Minus18Youth #YouAreLoved
