FCP | UPDATING | Love in Full Colour

[Edited extract from public address]

Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at school, at work and in their communities, regardless of who they love or how they identify. 

But LGBTIQA+ people in Australia continue to be confronted with stigma, prejudice and discrimination across multiple areas of their lives.

We need a holistic, proactive approach to reforming schools, laws and workplaces to create a world where LGBTIQA+ youth are safe, respected, equal and included.

The Full Colour Project is a unique doco series and campaign for LGBTIQA+ equality. It started in 2012 with the documentary Love in Full Colour

It followed 12 queer teenagers over several years, and captured their experiences of being bullied, falling in love and attending the Minus18 Queer Formal. 
“Brilliant filmmaking. A powerful argument for the role schools can  play in accepting - and celebrating – same sex and gender diversity in  our society as a whole.”
 - Meredith Peace, President, Australian Education Union, Victoria
10 Years in Full Colour reconnects with those teenagers who stole our hearts a decade ago – now in their 20s, and just as the world has changed in momentous ways in that time, so have they. Some of them have transitioned, led huge equality campaigns, become engaged, became quite famous! They have lived through and actively shaped an extraordinary time in our history.

The aim is for this to become an ongoing series which tracks the lives and loves of our queer participants every 10 years. It's an Australian first.
