The Live Out Loud campaign is a national campaign that celebrates LGBTI+ youth and aims to show how they are visible, valued and included.
We want to hear positive stories from every sector of society. There are three submission types: video, image and written word. Below is a list of ideas to help you come up with your submission. This is note a finite list, so please feel free to develop your own idea that may or may not be listed below.
