Today, during Lesbian Visibility Week, we come together to celebrate, honour, and uplift the lesbian community - a community whose strength, resilience, and pride have helped shape our world for the better.
Lesbian Visibility Day is not just a celebration of existence - it is a powerful act of recognition.
It’s about seeing the trailblazers who marched when the streets were not safe, the dreamers who built futures from hope, and the quiet warriors who lived their truth even when it meant standing alone.
It’s about the lesbians who demanded space, who rewrote laws, who created art, who loved fearlessly - and it’s about those whose names history tried to forget but whose impact lives on.
Visibility is life-saving. Visibility is revolutionary.
When we see ourselves reflected in the world - when our stories, families, and love are visible - we open the door for possibility, for safety, for pride.
To every lesbian who has fought to be seen, who has held the line for others, who has lived authentically even when the cost was high: this day is for you.
To the firsts. The first to come out, the first to love openly, the first to challenge injustice - thank you.
To the elders who built the bridges, and to the young people who cross them boldly - thank you.
To the artists, the athletes, the activists, the healers, the leaders, the everyday heroes who show up, day after day, simply as themselves - thank you.
Today, and every day, we honour your strength, your courage, your joy, and your brilliance.
You are not invisible.
You are not alone.
You are seen. You are valued. You are loved.
From all of us at Pride Adelaide,
Happy Lesbian Visibility Day.
Your pride is power. Your visibility is victory. Your story is unstoppable.
