🌈 Wow, Pride Month 2025 was a blast!

June’s rainbow-filled days celebrated the LGBTIQASB+ community, with a special focus on people with disability and intersectional identities. From accessible parades to virtual meetups, love, resilience, and diversity were honoured.

This year, Pride shone a light on the unique experiences of LGBTIQASB+ folks navigating disability, race, and more. Sign language interpreters, wheelchair-friendly venues, and sensory-safe spaces made events more inclusive, proving that true Pride lifts everyone.

It is a great time to acknowledge that education and awareness are key to empowering allies and communities to understand the diverse needs of LGBTIQASB+ individuals with disability.

The NGO Training Centre’s course, Supporting LGBTIQASB+ People, is a game-changer, educating disability support professionals about gender-affirming care, the Genderbread Unicorn analogy 🦄, and intersectionality to foster inclusive support.

🌈 So, how was your Pride? Did you march, connect online, gain greater insights through education… or face challenges? Share your story with #Pride2025 and tag us on socials @ngotrainingcentre.

We’d love to hear it!

Let’s keep the love and fight going all year long, not just for the month of June.

Happy Pride! 🌈
