Wear It Purple Day is tomorrow on Friday August 25. The day is all about celebrating rainbow people, Queensland Police say.
Drag out of the closet those purple clothes and wear with pride your loudest purple get ups.
This year the Queensland Police Service (QPS) is again supporting "Wear it Purple" to raise community awareness and empower Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) young people to know they are not alone and have the right to be proud of who they are.
Let’s get into the spirit by adding a dash of purple to celebrate diversity.
Keep an eye out for your local police officers who may be wearing purple boot laces, purple ribbons or the LGBTI QPS rainbow lanyards.
Come and join us at Queens Park, Brisbane City (George, Elizabeth and William Street) on Friday August 25 between 8am and 3.30pm to support LGBTIQ+ young people and ‘Wear It Purple’.
Wear it Purple Day will be celebrated by organisations steering diversity, change and equality within the LGBTIQ space and community. A huge thank you to all supporters:
