Minus 18

Issue 40 | September 2016

Background

LGBTI youth today still face an extremely high amount of unwarranted prejudices and violent discrimination, causing high rates of depression, self-harm, and even suicide. Most of this derives from a very vocal minority who promote homophobia on social media, resulting in young people developing a fear of simply being who they are.

Minus 18, Australia’s largest LGBTI youth network, wanted to deploy a campaign that would empower LGBTI youth while also sending a simple but powerful message; they have a lot more support than they might think.
