In 2020, we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Wear it Purple, an international movement aimed at fostering supporting, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for LGBTIQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and gender diverse, Intersex and Queer/Questioning) young people.

Wear it Purple was established to show young people across the globe that there was hope, that there were people who did support and accept them, and that they have the right to be proud of who they are.

Wear it Purple day 2020 is being held on Friday 28th August, and the theme for this year is “We are the change”.

Diversity and Inclusion are partnering with the Geelong Cats Football Club to show our united support of LGBTIQ+ young people through a number of online activities and resources aimed at promoting the benefits of exercise and sport in helping improve people’s health and wellbeing and fostering a strong sense of community belonging and pride.
