Pride Month Rainbow Blondie
Pride Month is a celebration of LGBTQIA+ visibility, community, and resistance. Its roots are closely connected to the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York, where members of the LGBTQIA+ community resisted ongoing police raids, harassment, and criminalisation targeting queer spaces. The events at Stonewall became a major catalyst for the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement and continue to shape Pride movements around the world today.
That legacy is deeply connected to LGBTQIA+ history in Australia. From the first Mardi Gras protest march held in Sydney in 1978, Pride in Australia has been shaped by communities advocating for visibility, safety, legal recognition, healthcare access, and the right to live openly and authentically.
The rainbow flag has become a symbol of LGBTQIA+ pride, solidarity, and collective strength. In this blondie, those colours become something to share. Bright, nostalgic, and playful, it is designed to bring people together through food, conversation, and celebration.
Like Pride itself, this blondie is about visibility, connection, and community, while recognising both the progress that has been made and the work that still continues today.
IDAHOBIT Rainbow Blondie
This Rainbow Blondie was created in honour of IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex Discrimination, and Transphobia, held each year on May 17.
IDAHOBIT marks the date in 1990 when the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases. While that moment was a turning point, it also reminds us how recent many of these shifts are, and how much work still continues today.
Across workplaces, schools, and communities, IDAHOBIT is a day to stand visibly against discrimination and to affirm that LGBTQIA+ people deserve safety, dignity, and belonging. It is about calling out harm, but also about actively building spaces where people can show up as themselves without fear.
The rainbow has long been a symbol of pride, visibility, and collective strength. In this blondie, it becomes something you can share. Bright, joyful, and a little unexpected, it brings colour to the table in a way that invites connection and conversation.
Like IDAHOBIT, this is about more than a moment. It is about the everyday actions that create change, the small gestures of support, and the communities that continue to show queerfood.com.au up for one another.
International Transgender Day of Visibility Blondie
International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is celebrated annually on 31 March and was created as a counterpart to Trans Day of Remembrance. It is a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements, resilience, and pride of transgender and non-binary people worldwide, while raising awareness against discrimination.
Our Trans Flag Blondie was created to honour this important day, bringing the colours of the trans flag to the table as a symbol of visibility, pride, and celebration. Through food, storytelling, and community, Queer Food celebrates the resilience, creativity, and leadership of trans people past and present, while continuing to advocate for a future where every trans person can live safely, visibly, and with pride.
Wear It Purple Blondie
This Purple Blondie was created in honour of Wear It Purple Day, a movement dedicated to supporting and uplifting LGBTQIA+ young people. Founded in Australia in 2010 after a series of tragic losses linked to bullying and isolation, Wear It Purple began as a response from young people who wanted to create change for their peers. What started as a single day of action has grown into a nationwide movement, encouraging schools, workplaces, and communities to show visible support.
Wearing purple has become a symbol of solidarity. It’s a way of saying you are seen, you are valued, and you belong. For many young people, that visibility can make a real difference, offering reassurance in moments where it’s needed most.
In this blondie, purple becomes something you can share. Rich, vibrant, and full of warmth, it brings that message to the table, creating space for connection, care, and conversation.
Like Wear It Purple, this is about showing up. Not just once a year, but in the everyday actions that help young people feel safe, supported, and proud of who they are.
