Goulburn Valley Pride Inc.

Exciting news! GV Pride has received some funding to share stories of Victorian regional LGBTIQA+ elders and history as we celebrate and commemorate the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality.

A series of podcasts and photos will capture the joys and sorrows of being LGBTIQA+ over the last 100yrs in regional Victoria.

Know someone with a powerful story? We’ve ALL got a story! Email gvpride@gvpride.org to express your interest.

“THINK ABOUT IT? DID IT!” will be an online collection showcased this Oct – Nov during OUTintheOPEN Festival and into Midsumma Festival 2022!

GV Pride wishes to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country on which we exist and support LGBTIQA+ people.

We recognise the history and pay our respects to the land, waters and culture of our region and the regions that surround us. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that the land always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Goulburn Valley Pride Inc. (GV Pride) is proud to be an organisation that exists to support, and advocate for, the LGBTIQA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse, intersex, queer and asexual +) communities in the Goulburn Valley & surrounds.

As an organisation that has existed for fifteen years, we also recognise and embrace change as our community and society progresses forward to a more equitable, inclusive and accessible one for all.

It is with this growth and ongoing consultation that we wish to affirm that moving forward, our organisation is adding the black and the brown colours to our organisation’s logo and brand. The black represents our First Nations Australians, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and the brown recognises People of Colour. The colours sit at the top of the six-colour pride flag as a symbol of recognition and inclusion.

We acknowledge that this is one step of many that need to be taken to ensure our organisation is inclusive, safe and accessible for all our LGBTIQA+ community. We are committed to striving for inclusion for all.

GV Pride has a vacancy on our committee…and YOU’RE invited to apply! Complete the expression of interest form here and we’ll be in touch! More information about what being on the committee involves can be found here.
