In 2023 LGBTQIA+ members formed a Pride Network at Together. The Network stands united with Queensland's LGBTQIA+ community in condemning the Queensland Government's statewide ban of gender services for young trans Queenslanders. Public gender services for transgender people of any age, is health care, and these health services must be adequately resourced and available equitably across the state. Ultimately this should be a decision that is made between a young person, their family and their health professionals - not politicians. Together Union supports the trans community in their struggle for equal access to healthcare services. If you are an LGBTQIA+ member of Together, join the Pride Network to get involved in activism in this space and be supported by your community.
