Hobsons Bay City Council's commitment to supporting the LGBTIQA+ community will be on display as it flies the rainbow flag outside the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre in acknowledgement of IDAHOBIT 2025.
IDAHOBIT stands for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. It advocates action for a prejudice-free world, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. It is marked globally on 17 May.
Council, supported by its LGBTIQA+ community liaison group, will raise the rainbow flag at the Hobsons Bay Civic Centre at 10.30am on Friday 16 May.
The Hobsons Bay program will include speakers representing Council and the Hobsons Bay Pride community liaison group followed by a morning tea.
Support for the LBGTIQA+ community in Hobsons Bay has grown in recent years, with the development of a Facebook group providing nearly 150 members opportunities to connect, catch up and provide support and local advice for LGBTIQA+ community members and allies in Hobsons Bay.
Additional event details and Facebook group information can be found at hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au/pride.
