    Prejudice & Pride: Recognising the contribution of the LGBT
    communities to Brisbane

    To coincide with the 20 year anniversary of the decriminalisation of
    homosexuality in Queensland, Museum of Brisbane presents this
    respectful and dignified exploration of the lives of LGBT people in
    Brisbane over the past 150 years.

    Prejudice & Pride goes behind the rainbow flag, offering reflections
    and recollections from Brisbane’s LGBT community. With an emphasis on
    recognition, the exhibition pays tribute to the lives within our
    community that have for too long been hidden.

    By breaking down the myths and stereotypes associated with these
    communities, the Prejudice & Pride reveals the real effect
    discrimination has on people’s lives and highlights the continued need
    for acceptance and understanding of LGBT people.

    The exhibition also celebrates unique LGBT culture – the importance of
    ‘reclaimed’ words and common language, identity and iconic symbols
    like the pink triangle and rainbow flag.

    Visitors to Prejudice & Pride will experience Brisbane’s LGBT history,
    including personal stories of intolerance and struggle, and provides
    an opportunity to celebrate the important milestones and achievements
    of these diverse communities.

    Entry is FREE
