A bunch of fascists managed to get a queer youth event in St Kilda, Melbourne cancelled. Our community showed up in droves to support the event and counter the fascists.
There were 150-200 of us and only 5 of them, with 10 more fascists seemingly running away after they saw our numbers.
This was an example of the queer community standing in solidarity to defend ourselves against those who would wish us harm. Was genuinely happy to see so many comrades, including those from RAHU, people from the Greens (including Tim Baxter!), and many more.
If they try this again, we'll be back. Queer kids and young adults deserve to live their lives without having to fear these hateful fascists.
