COVID-19 and Australian LGBTIQ+ Communities

Equality Australia assembled a roundtable to open the conversation about the specific issues facing LGBTIQ+ people in Australia due to COVID-19 🏳️‍🌈

“The family home can be a hostile and unsafe place for same-sex attracted or gender questioning young people. Without the ability to escape to a school environment, or to welcoming friends or other family members, LGBTIQ+ young people and others will be at increased risk during this time of physical distancing.”
