Overview
BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation was established as a collective response to the identified need for strengthened visibility of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ community. We aim to foster pathways that provide informed and authentic representation, that positively impacts the social and emotional wellbeing of our people. Through a network of sharing, support, and connection we will elevate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ mob from across the country in a safe and inclusive space of belonging that prioritises and reframes us as central to the conversation. We know our community is vibrant and alive with extraordinary people overcoming an onslaught of barriers to achieve and lead in expert industries, pioneering for future generations and now. We also know, too often our LGBTQ+ mob are slipping through the cracks and we want to change that. BlaQ is working with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ toward a future where all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, sistergirls, brotherboys, queer and non-binary them stars are valued and safe in all aspects of society. Our community has always been here, existing in the kinship structures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture since time immemorial. We are fundamental to the overall health and well-being of our respective communities. It’s time to recognize and honor the unique contribution of our LGBTQ+ mob! Email us at admin@blaq.org.au
