Visibility Anniversaries Tour

The Visibility Anniversaries Tour celebrates visibility in all its forms — being seen, acknowledged, respected, and listened to. It's about standing tall and embracing our true selves. Because there is nothing more beautiful than being who you truly are.

For this year’s theme, we're marked the anniversaries of three incredible milestones: the birth of the Trans flag, the Brunswick Four, and the Depathologization of Homosexuality. We're honoured to have had amazing advocates joining us throughout our visibility journey.

Together, we celebrated a day filled with empowerment, authenticity, and the amazing power of unity.

Everyday let's celebrate visibility in all its forms - being seen, acknowledged, respected, and listened to. It's about standing tall and embracing our true selves. Because there is nothing more beautiful than being who you truly are.

Let's stand united against injustices, raising our voices for those who need them most. Wear pink, use our campaign resources, and spread the message of visibility everywhere.
