Hey friends,
 

I hope you're having a fabulous Pride Month. This June we're proud to collaborate with actor and content creator David Grant on a series of videos about what it's like being queer and deaf. David's coming out story gets you right in the feels.
 

While the world is truly in a state of chaos, we were buoyed by today's news of gay blood bans being lifted in Australia. Gay and bisexual men will soon be among more than 600,000 Australians newly eligible to donate blood. About bloody time!
 

Another treat that dropped this Pride is the Australian fly-on-the-wall series Dance Life, which follows the top students of Australian dance academy Brent Street as they strive to become professional dancers while also figuring out who they are. Some of the cuties are pictured above and you can catch all the eps on iview.
 

In response to international attacks on the trans community, how good is it to see trans pride take centre stage at Darwin's annual Top End Pride March?
 

Pride will always be a party and a protest, so get amongst it!
 

Cheers queers,
Mon

Not everyone has fond memories of their high-school formal, which is particularly true for many LGBTQIA+ people. It's that experience that inspired Darwin's first ever 'Queer Youth Prom' as part of Pride Month.
