Before arriving in the Huon Valley, Rural Pride Australia was fortunate to talk with Far South Pride (thanks to Kati) and Huon Valley Rainbow Fruits (thanks to Mitch), as well as Working It Out (thanks to Andrew, Liv and Simone-lisa) and Equality Tasmania (thanks to Rodney). We heard that since COVID that LGBTIQA+ life has progressed in the Huon Valley, and that an emerging LGBTIQA+ ecosystem was forming locally that is built on longer-established foundations such as PFLAG, the Cygnet Community Hub and DS Coffee House.

We also heard that the Huon Valley has a brutal past for local LGBTIQA+ people, and that although there has been significant progress, there are still examples of violence, abuse, harassment and discrimination for LGBTIQA+ people today.

This national demonstration project is mapping three communities in every state and territory, road-testing five community factors identified by LGBTIQA+ people in regional, rural and remote areas: visibility, safety, inclusion, diversity & intersectionality, and community cohesion. We’re also trialling a five-level rating scale designed to be used by local LGBTIQA+ people (not outsiders), from No Evidence Yet through to Living the RRR LGBTIQA+ Dream. After small group discussions, the group agreed on a draft set of ratings.
