You can also dive into to some workshops to learn more about our community, or even hone your artistic skills, with events such as Pronouns for Parents 101 and Portrait of a King – a live-drawing class with the drag king supreme Jaxon Coke.

This fantastic program is being powered by the South Perth Youth Network (SPYN), a group of passionate young folks who live in the district and want to make a difference in their community.

What’s more – all of these events are completely free! Be sure to register now to secure your place.

Perfectly Queer is running across the City of South Perth from Friday, 17 May to Friday, 28 June. Head to Humanitix for the full program.
