This Friday the Office of the Guardian will be wearing it purple!
In this week’s blog post, we’re celebrating the importance of Wear it Purple Day! We explore some of the background to this day, and this year’s theme ‘Your Passion, Your Pride’.
We will also share some of our observations about how being in care and detention can impact LGBTQIA+ young peoples’ expression of their identity. In doing so, we acknowledge that young people are the experts in their experiences – but we are constantly learning about what it means to be an effective ally.
