As unpleasant as it might be to talk about, we must acknowledge that intolerance and abuse remain a very real part of living as an LGBTQIA+ person in the UK, and other “progressive” Western countries.

Shaping Identities: Southeast Asia's Youth on the Rainbow Spectrum
2 March 2026

It is time for Southeast Asia to take action, independent of foreign movements and aid, to address what is fundamentally a local problem. As a community, we must take ownership and lead with pride to secure gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, and justice for all.

Reconsidering ‘normality’: On being asexual in a sexual society 
19 June 2025

I have accepted myself as an ace person, but I still struggle with internalised aphobia. I still wish I could have the same experiences that everyone else seems so infatuated with. I still wish I could be ‘normal’. But slowly, year by year, I find myself growing into a person who could be openly proud of their ace identity.

Music. A creative artform, an outlet for self-expression, a medium to communicate and inspire. LGBTQ+ music has allowed me to connect with the community and explore my own identity both remotely and in-person. Music makes community accessible, facilitating cultural connections that transcend time and space.

Queer Histories: The Symbols and Meanings of Flowers 
3 November 2024

Flowers have been used throughout history to signify meanings like love, passion and beauty (roses), purity, virtue and devotion (lilies), rebirth and new beginnings (daffodils), and joy (marigolds). However, flowers have also been used as a coded language to signify queerness during times of persecution or to represent love and joy within the queer community.

Queer Histories: The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands 
1 June 2024

In protest of the government's bigotry, a group of queer activists at Brisbane Pride decided to create their own 'Gay and Lesbian Kingdom'. Under international law, 'oppressed people who occupy an EOT (External Overseas Territory) ... (have) the right to self-determination and self-government'. The Coral Sea Islands, recognised as an EOT of Australia, met this criteria. By asserting their occupancy, these activists could establish their own queer friendly government.

Formerly One Woman Project

Gender Justice Project acknowledges that the land upon which we were founded always was and always will be the land of the Turrbal and Jagera People. We would like to extend this acknowledgment to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the many lands and waters our volunteers work, study and live. We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded and support our Indigenous communities in fighting for recognition, treaty and self-determination. We also acknowledge that the work we undertake is built upon the passion, dedication and courage of First Nations activists, advocates and feminists who came before us, and who continue to lead the movement towards global gender equality.
