Supporting Midsumma
“As a queer person, I was really excited to find out RACV takes part in Melbourne's Pride March. I was so excited to go to my first Pride event, but to be in the actual march itself was even better. It was really nice to not only have my friends with me, but to know that RACV supporting the community means showing up and actively participating – not just saying it.”
