  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
