I’ve had to turn my community group into a business to be able to get enough money to be able to run a community group. It costs $713 to have a stall at the Midsumma Carnival. $713! Fair Day is like $350 How is a community group able to do outreach when it is so expensive?
Hey there! We're JOY, Australia's LGBTQIA+ community media organisation and radio station, on air 24/7. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Heard there were cool queer people here? 👋

The problem for Mardi Gras — and, if they follow suit, Midsumma — is that these events have been SO insistent on letting police use Pride for PR that having their hand forced by an alleged double murder isn't indicative of any real change. 1/2
