This is Oz

In honor of the International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) held on May 17, Australian LGBTQ people and their supporters started an online art campaign to speak out against hateful speech. This is Oz features photographs of notable Aussies supporting a diverse and inclusive Australia, and by extension, world.

In (belated) honor of the event, I thought I would post the pics of two of my favorite Australians. The first, Mitzi Macintosh, Sydney's legendary and extraordinary drag queen (whom I sorely miss seeing perform); and the other is Olympic gold medalist, Matthew Mitcham.

Speak out against homophobia.
