another cool form of Gayskate is tomorrow night! Pride Night at IceHQ ❄️🏳️‍🌈⛸️ icehq.com.au/purchase-page/…

if you, like us, have been lamenting the loss of Footscray's Gayskate nights (in the 1980s), you may like to check out Peanut Butter Jam! midsumma.org.au/whats-on/event…

We have regretfully decided to cancel tomorrow's Footscray Queer History Walk. Tomorrow afternoon's weather forecast is for temperatures up to 35° and a UV index of 11. We do not believe we can provide a safe event under these conditions.
