We recognise the intersectional lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTI people and the devastating role colonisation has played in their communities.  We acknowledge the marginalisation and social isolation that come from being in this intersection.

Please see our Statement of Apology to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, your families and communities.
