Resource/Newsletter/Community for Brisbane Queer Owned Businesses

Hi everybody!

I am wondering if there is any newsletter/community space or anything that is hyper local to the Brisbane queer community? If not a lot, I am wanting to start a little social newsletter where we can talk about the local queer owned businesses/safe spaces around town, best places to go to get support, and overall just sharing some really positive people from our community.

If there is something like this already, please tell me where to find this! But I also am open to hearing if there is a space that needs filling, or even if you think it is possible? As much as I love hearing the coming out stories and inspirational events happening from creators in America, it is always super lovely to be able to hear form people who are going on dates at southbank or who met at a place that I have been to etc etc...

Anyway, TLDR - Would anyone have an interest in reading a super local newsletter filled with all things queer Brisbane

The TAG TEAM Study is now recruiting!

A new study led by the Transgender Health Research Group at Murdoch Children's Research Institute has started recruiting trans and gender diverse adolescents aged 12-17 across Australia. This study is investigating the effectiveness of a group psychological therapy intervention called TAG TEAM in a randomised clinical trial.

What is TAG TEAM❓

The Trans Adolescent Group ThErapy for Alleviating Minority stress (TAG TEAM) program is a group cognitive-behaviour therapy intervention designed with, and for, trans and gender diverse young people. Each TAG TEAM group has up to 8 trans and gender diverse adolescents  attend  6 weekly 2-hour sessions, facilitated by a psychologist and a trans peer. The program is designed to improve mental health and well-being  by targeting stressors (e.g., discrimination) and resilience factors (e.g., pride) that are commonly experienced by trans and gender diverse adolescents.

What this study involves📜

This study is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) testing the effectiveness of TAG TEAM to improve the mental health and well-being of trans and gender diverse adolescents aged 12-17 years. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two groups:

One group will attend TAG TEAM once enrolled in the study
The other group will be placed onto a waitlist to attend TAG TEAM after 4.5 months

Participants in Victoria will have the option to attend TAG TEAM sessions online or in-person. Those in other states and territories will only be able to attend online. Participants will be asked to take part in a call to screen for their eligibility. Those who are eligible and consent to participate will be asked to complete questionnaires at three different time points after enrolling in the study.

Who are we recruiting📢

We are recruiting 142 trans and gender diverse adolescents from across Australia who are:

aged 12-17 years
have completed primary school
are not enrolled in tertiary studies (university)
are not participating in another group therapy program

More eligibility criteria and study information can be found at: https://www.mcri.edu.au/research/projects/tagteam 

For those who prefer to take in information visually/verbally, we have also created a 3-minute clip of one of our study team members, Lux (they/them), describing what TAG TEAM is: https://youtu.be/HHAwCXn-54Q

For more information about TAG TEAM, this study, and to express interest in participating (young people and their parents/guardians/caregivers can express interest), you can go to our website or contact us by email at tagteam@mcri.edu.au with your questions.

Queer raves?

Are there any queer, sex positive raves/events in Brisbane?
Have been to many in London and missing the scene badly here. Just been to rave temple warehouse party in Sydney and that was great, hoping there is something similar here! Any event recommendations would be great. Yes I’m on fetlife but nothing on there…

I’m 31f, queer, trying to find my people - dm me if you think we could be mates!!
