[Edited extract from public address]
Together we have developed resources for service providers, community leaders and other advocates and allies working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people from multicultural, spiritual and diverse faith backgrounds.
We honour all of the individuals and communities who have shared their stories with us as we work together in the service of greater visibility, voice, safety and participation.
LGBTIQ+ Intersect acknowledges the Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of this land. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and water and we pay our respects to their Ancestors and the Elders, past present and emerging.
We make particular mention and honour the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, non-binary and intersex Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders, including Sistergirls and Brotherboys. We hope that this resource will open dialogue and contribute to a deeper understanding of diverse and unique identities, supporting collective healing.
