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