Milpara Community House stands with our LGBTQIA+ community. We pledge to never stay silent about LGBTQIA+ discrimination and will take positive steps to be part of the solution. Milpara provides a safe space for all our community.
A really simple way you can help make a positive change for our LGBTQIA+ community is using a persons preferred pronouns. I know some people find this confusing so let’s break it down. A persons sex is assigned off physical anatomy. A persons gender identity is their perception of their own gender and will define what pronouns they prefer to use. Just asking a person their preferred pronoun and using it is really simple and makes a big difference, it’s validating and shows you care and respect them.
