During May, the USS Animus marked IDAHOBIT; the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, a day dedicated to raising awareness of discrimination and violence facing LBGTQIA+ communities around the world.
Across Australia and globally, LBGTQIA+ people continue to experience prejudice and harm simply for being themselves. This observance serves as an important reminder for the need for respect, understanding and inclusion within both our wider communities and our own.
The officers and crew of the USS Animus acknowledge this day in alignment with the guiding philosophy of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. IDIC reflects a core principle of Star Trek: that diversity is not only to be accepted, but valued as a source of strength.
As this newsletter issue is being released in June, we also recognise PRIDE Month. To our LBGTQIA+ crewmembers and wider community, we see you, we love you, we respect you, you are always welcome here.
Be proud of who you are.
