Today, Mitch Brown became the "first openly bisexual man in AFL history". This has made headlines and is all over social media. Living Proud congratulates and thanks Mitch for his courage and visibility. This announcement means so much to so many - to the young people who think they could never be out with their mates, to the other elite sportsmen who identify as bi+, gay or queer and are scared to be open, and to all the LGBTIQA+SB community who feel seen. It is sad that this is such big news in 2025. It is sad that there will be those who make hateful comments in response. It is sad that in 2025, Mitch is the first. We applaud you Mitch! Your courage paves the way for others, opens conversations that need to be had and for some, it will inspire them to keep going. We also applaud the leadership of the West Coast Eagles for their public support of Mitch and their messaging to other LGBTIQA+SB people. If you need to talk, call QLife on 1800 184 527 (3pm - midnight) 💖💜💙 #mitchbrown #bivibes #bisexual #bisexualitypride
Yesterday we were pleased to witness the introduction by the Cook Labor government of the landmark reforms to modernise our WA assisted reproductive technology and surrogacy laws. The reforms will: ✅ Remove outdated and discriminatory barriers ✅ Expand access to fertility treatments and surrogacy ✅ Ensure donor-conceived people can access information about their genetic heritage ✅ Bring WA in line with other states — fairer, safer, and more inclusive It was an emotional moment for so many people, allowing them to start the families they have dreamed of right here in WA. At Living Proud, we celebrate this milestone with the advocates, families, and community members who have fought tirelessly for change. Thank you! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Over many months, consultations with LGBTIQA+SB community have taken place across the state to help inform the LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Strategy. Check out Rainbow Futures WA's report capturing what they heard from you!
Come along and see our CEO, Meaghan Holden, at the Over the Rainbow Symposium this. 🌈

Our services rely on volunteers. We are keen to hear from people up for the challenges and benefits that volunteering can bring.
We rely on the generosity of our supporters to make a difference. We work towards equal health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+SB people in WA. We do this in various ways:
