Maribyrnong council celebrated IDAHOBIT Day at Braybrook Community Hub on Monday, May 15, by raising the Progress Pride Flag at a flag raising ceremony.
The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) Day is recognised internationally on May 17 each year.
Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter said it was a significant day for the community.
“Todays raising of the flag is a small symbol but nonetheless a very important one of our council’s support and commitment to the community, and the work we are doing to enact the LGBTQIA+ strategy and our action plan,” she said.
Cr Carter joined two Braybrook residents, Lucy and Kim, to raise the multi-coloured flag, shouting gleefully as it went up.
