May 11th, 2023IDAHOBIT Day

Kyneton will show its support for the LGBTIQA+ community next week as it raises the rainbow flag to mark International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on Wednesday, May 17.
Organised by Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Sunbury and Cobaw
Community Health, the event is an important date in the calendar as Macedon
Ranges residents, businesses and community groups join people all over the world
to celebrate diversity and raise awareness of the ongoing discrimination faced by the
lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex community.
There will be a free sausage sizzle and guest speakers including Macedon Ranges
Shire Council’s CEO Bernie O’Sullivan and Mayor Annette Death.
“IDAHOBIT is one of council’s key annual recognition days,” said Cr Death.
“I look forward to once again raising the rainbow flag this year, in a simple but clear
statement of our support for our LGBTIQA+ community and this year’s theme of
‘Together always: united in diversity’.”
The flag raising event takes place at noon at the Kyneton Mechanics Institute, 81
Mollison Street, Kyneton.
