SUMMARY:Campaign FCK Homophobia
DESCRIPTION:With our modest team and capabilities\, M-Coalition published an online campaign raising a voice against homophobia+ as well as its enablers such as colonialism and capitalism. As our region continues to be ravished by conflicted inflicted by the US and Israel continuing patterns of colonialism and destruction\, today we revolt\, and we use our street language to say FCK homophobia\, FCK l’homophobie and in our tongue ك س م الهوموفوبيا\nWe intentionally used street language\, passing under META radar through missing vowels and irregular text spacing (arabic) the colonizer who brought homophobia into our communities understands only street language\, and we are here to stand our ground\nThe song we used is also a very popular underground song\, where the singer asks her lover that they elope\, in our case it was a perfect match: “Baby\, would you like us to get married in secret\, and go live away from everyone…”

SUMMARY:IDAHOBIT 2026 – Flag Raising and Community Celebration (Blue Mountains)
DESCRIPTION:Blue Mountains City Council will mark the International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) with a Pride flag raising and free community event on Sunday 17 May 2026.   \nThe Progress Pride flag will be raised at 9am at Peace Park\, Civic Place\, Katoomba\, followed by a community event from 10am to 12pm at Tibbi Whalan Hall\, Katoomba Civic Centre. \nThe event will feature panel discussions\, a photo retrospective\, creative activities\, and stalls from local organisations\, offering a welcoming space for people of all ages to come together in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. \nBlue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill said Council is proud to stand alongside the community in recognising IDAHOBIT each year. \n“Council is proud to support IDAHOBIT and to stand with our LGBTQIA+ community\, their families\, friends and allies as we reflect on the progress that has been made and the work that still lies ahead\,” Cr Greenhill said. \n“Flying the Progress Pride flag sends a clear message that the Blue Mountains is a place where everyone is valued\, respected and safe\, and that discrimination\, hatred and intimidation have no place in our community. \n“This year’s theme\, ‘At the Heart of Democracy’\, reminds us that fairness\, inclusion and equality are fundamental to a strong and healthy society. We all have a role to play in ensuring every person can live openly\, safely and with dignity.” \nCouncil has commemorated IDAHOBIT since 2010 as part of its commitment to fostering an inclusive\, healthy and vibrant community\, as outlined in its Community Strategic Plan. \nIDAHOBIT is observed globally on 17 May\, marking the 1990 decision by the World Health Organization to remove homosexuality from the list of mental health disorders. \nThe 2026 Blue Mountains event is delivered in partnership with local community organisations including Bent Art\, Blue Mountains Trans & Gender Diverse Social Group\, Blue Mountains Women’s Health & Resource Centre\, MOCS Mountains Outreach Community Services\, Pick ’n’ Mix Belong Blue Mountains and Springwood Neighbourhood Centre Cooperative\, with support from ACON and headspace. \nCommunity members are encouraged to attend the free event and take part in this important day of recognition\, reflection and celebration.

SUMMARY:Steps to Liberation: Unveiling the Rainbow Steps
DESCRIPTION:Community members and allies will gather at Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles for a public act of courage: the unveiling of the Rainbow Steps. \nCreated by Lynn Segerblom\, co-creator of the original rainbow flag in 1978\, the installation transforms the church’s historic entry staircase into a vibrant spectrum of color — a symbolic pathway representing courage\, visibility\, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ dignity and equality. \nFounders MCC holds a unique place in LGBTQ+ history. Its founder\, Rev. Troy Perry\, helped launch the modern Pride movement by organizing the first Pride parade in Los Angeles in 1970\, demonstrating how visibility and collective action help expand freedom. \nThe event will also mark the official launch of Flag50\, a global initiative leading toward the 50th anniversary of the rainbow flag in 2028\, celebrating the flag’s enduring role as a symbol of hope\, diversity\, and human rights. \nIn a time when LGBTQ+ people around the world continue to face discrimination and violence\, the Rainbow Steps stand as a visible reminder that defending LGBTQ+ dignity is central to protecting democracy itself. \nThe event will take place in person in Los Angeles and online for global participation\, inviting communities everywhere to reflect on why equality and solidarity remain at the heart of democracy. \nMore information and livestream details:ourpride.org \nWith each step\, the Rainbow Steps invite us to remember that freedom is not achieved in a single moment\, but built step by step through courage\, solidarity\, and the enduring promise of democracy.

SUMMARY:Drag and SFX makeup workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to contour gender expression\, why blending is essential\, and which eyeliner works best under club lighting from Cider Bunny – a local drag artist you’ve definitely already heard of. And if you’re drawn to more extreme transformations\, silicone materials will be provided by Sara – a cosplay artist ready to share the secrets of Special Effects makeup with anyone who wants to dive deeper.\nThe number of participants is limited\, with advance registration required via Google Forms. If you sign up and later can’t attend\, please let us know at sjemenistekolektiv@gmail.com so we can offer your spot to someone else.\nBring your own makeup (especially brushes) if you have it. If not\, indicate this in your registration so we can provide supplies.\nWarmly and in solidarity\, happy Pride Month!
