Election night
Holding space for election night feelings
The team at TGV wants to acknowledge that the date of the Gender Revel Gala coincides with the Victorian State Election. While we don't know what the results will look like, we do know what our night will look like: celebrating trans excellence, standing together in solidarity and holding space for one another. Regardless of what season is ahead, this will be a night for us all to flourish and bloom.
