Rainbow colours will be displayed on nine of Brisbane’s landmarks on the 17th of May to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

The day aims to raise awareness to those in the LGBTI community affected by discrimination and abuse and to support those living in countries where homosexuals acts are still illegal.

QPAC, Brisbane Powerhouse, Queensland Parliament House, City Hall, The Treasury Casino and the Story, Victoria and Kurilpa bridges will all be lighting up and locals can show their support by joining a rainbow lights walking tour at King George Square.
