Our bodies and minds deserve care at every age. For LGBTIQ+ elders, wellbeing isn’t just about living longer, it’s about living with joy, dignity, and pride. From mental health to mobility, intimacy to community, let’s remind ourselves: thriving has no age limit.

Today marks Lesbian Visibility Day in Sri Lanka. Its a vital movement for celebration, solidarity, and awareness within the Sri Lankan LGBTIQ+ community. It’s about making lesbian women seen, heard, and valued in a society where visibility is a powerful form of advocacy.

A democracy that excludes LGBTIQ people is not a full democracy. True democracy means representation, protection, freedom, participation, and accountability for everyone, without exception. #DemocracyForAll #LGBTIQRights #EqualityMatters #InclusiveDemocracy

International Non‑Binary People’s Day is celebrated each year as a reminder that visibility matters: non‑binary people face erasure, discrimination, and lack of legal recognition.

Pride is more than just a celebration; it's a powerful act of resistance, resilience, and love. This year, we’re raising funds to ensure that PRIDE 2025 is more inclusive than ever despite the financial and homophobic challenges we face. (1)

The LGBTIQ community is facing growing challenges, rising discrimination, harmful legislation, and online hate that threaten their safety and rights. Now, more than ever, support and allyship matter. Speaking up, advocating for equality, and standing in solidarity can make a real difference.🌈✊

With the increasing rise of hate and homophobia rising daily across the globe, we thought it would be interesting and knowledgeable to share some personal stories from the community for PRIDE this year!
