Disability Pride Month
Disability Pride Month
1 July 2025
DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH - July is Disability Pride month, and while it is not widely celebrated here in Australia, it is certainly significant in what it represents for people living with disabilities.
Disability Pride Month occurs in the United States every July to commemorate the passing of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July 1990.
The celebration has been officially recognised by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio and San Francisco mayor London Breed.
Disability Pride is also celebrated worldwide, including in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and other countries during various times of the year.
Disability Pride Parades are parades held annually to celebrate the month in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, San Antonio, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh among others.
At its core, Disability Pride month looks to celebrate disability as an identity – by sharing the many different experiences of people in the disability community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags
9 July 2025
Today marks the day since the Aboriginal flag was first raised at a land rights rally in Tarntanyangga/Victoria Square, Adelaide, by its Wombai and Luritja designer, Harold Thomas. The flag continues to be an enduring symbol of unity, connection to Country and a representation of the strength and resilience of Aboriginal people.
Flying or displaying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags not only shows respect for, and recognition of, First Nations peoples, but also promotes a sense of community partnership and is a public commitment toward reconciliation.
Make sure to talk with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities about how the flags should be flown or displayed in your local community, where you work, play or socialise.

International Non-Binary People’s Day
International Non-Binary People’s Day
14 July 2025
TODAY - On 14 July each year, the world celebrates International Non-Binary People’s Day.
Pride in Law recognises that this is an important day for visibility. We have a long way to go to increase awareness and understanding about non-binary people.
Non-binary people do not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. They may identify as being both a man and a woman, somewhere in between, or as falling completely outside these categories. While many also identify as transgender, not all non-binary people do. You may not understand, but it’s vital, as a human race, we all respect and love one another.
This International Non-Binary People’s Day and every day, Pride in Law will continue to support, empower and uplift the voices of non-binary people. We will ensure that LGBTIQ+ visibility, education and advocacy is inclusive of them.
#LGBTIQ+ #INBPD #Nonbinary #Prideinlaw
Fun fact: International Non-Binary People's Day is celebrated today (14 July) because it falls at the midpoint between International Women's Day (8 March) and International Men's Day (19 November) - we love that!
