Back in 2011, Brisbane Pride Festival moved our Pride month to September so we could celebrate and commemorate the spirit of Pride in warmer period leading into summer. For many it's an opportunity to reflect on the history of our LGBTQ+ community. It's also a time of celebrating the progress we have made and acknowledging the hurdles still being faced by LGBTQ+ people all over the world as we continue in the fight for equal rights.
This year, Fluffy is showing its Pride by hosting several events throughout month celebrating the spirit of Pride and the wondrous diversity that makes up our colourful community.
"This year I have dedicated Fluffy's PRIDE campaign to celebrating all our differences that makes us unique but bring us together to create ONE community which I love very dearly." said Fluffy's own Harry Katsanevas in a statement.
"Pride to me, is living in a world where your sexual orientation, your colour, your gender makes no difference. It's our differences that brings colour to our world, it's our differences that should be celebrated not only during Pride Month but every single day of our lives."
From performers to internationally renowned DJs, live music, and more, there is literally something for everyone. September is going be an action-packed month full of must-attend social events that you're not gonna want to miss!

Sister Funk
Brisbane Pride Festival presents, Sister Funk - a dance party for women and their friends.
Starting life in the mid-1990's, Sister Funk was a monthly event for Brisbane women - a space to come together and share the love of dancing and late-nights when queer politics was gaining momentum and Brisbane Pride had only just begun. It was an event like no other.
This year, Brisbane Pride Festival is reviving this amazing party and reinventing a real Brisbane-born event. Sister Funk will keep you entertained and help bring back that sense of fun and community for Brisbane women in true 90's fashion.
Get in early to catch the fantastic live band, Salt & Steel. Grab a booth with your crew or play pool. DJ sets by Lady K, DIYU, Mikey Wilson, Kylie Rose, as well as performances by Riell La'Vish and Richie LeStrange.
