Today is the last day of Pride month, but our work to ensure LGBT+ people can live without fear never stops. Recently we have: 🔴committed £21 million over the next three years to advance global LGBT+ rights 🟠announced a new LGBT+ envoy 🟡updated hate crime legislation in the UK 🟢supported other countries to do the same 🔵we are hosting the European IDAHOT+ Forum in 2027

For generations, the LGBTIQA+ community have faced discrimination - simply for being who they are. South Australia has proudly led the nation in fighting against that discrimination.  Like being the first state to decriminalise homosexuality under Don Dunstan’s government.  And under the Malinauskas Labor Government we passed laws to ban harmful conversion practices.  But this progress can never be taken for granted.  That’s why International Day Against Homophobita, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) is so important.  Today - and everyday - I stand with the LGBTIQA+ community.  And I will always fight any attempts to wind back the progress we have made.
