🏳️🌈 VICTORY AFTER 7 YEARS 🏳️🌈
After almost seven years of legal battles, stress, and relentless attacks on our community, justice has finally prevailed.
This win means so much more than a court decision. It is a victory for every LGBTQIA+ person who has ever been told they don't belong. It is a victory for the drag community of Brisbane and Australia, and for everyone who believes in equality, dignity, and respect.
For seven years, I stood my ground and refused to be silenced. I stood up for my rights, for my community, and for the incredible drag performers who bring joy, creativity, and acceptance into the lives of so many people.
What makes this victory even more special is that it comes during Pride Month — a time when we celebrate who we are, how far we've come, and the work that still lies ahead.
The hate and division directed at our community over these years has been disappointing and damaging. No one should face vilification simply for being who they are or expressing themselves through art and performance.
This week's Supreme Court decision marks another significant defeat for Lyle Shelton in his long-running case against me. It sends a powerful message that our community will continue to stand strong, stand together, and stand proud.
Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this journey LGBTI Legal Services. Your encouragement, advocacy, and belief in equality helped make this possible.
🌈 Happy Pride Month.
🌈 Keep showing up.
🌈 Keep speaking out.
🌈 Keep being proud.
Please share this post and help spread the message that love, inclusion, and equality will always be stronger than hate.
