    This is an awesome story!

    Minus18's CEO Micah is a former EC staff person (at least, I'm pretty sure it's the same Micah), and he and Maddy (also a former EC admin) have a long history of working with Minus18 to promote LGBT youth issues, awareness of bullying, and doing lots of other good things.

    Nice to hear that, once again, the dimwitted Christian bigots who tried to shut down their event got their ass handed to them. And even cooler that it's something associated with former EC staffers :slight_smile:

    So their idea to shut down the event was to donate more money to it? Geniuses!

    Congratulations to our peeps.

    It is an awesome story.

    Go fellow LGBT peeps in Australia,

    P.S: If I had an event like this in high school I would've totally gone and had more fun than the straight formal.

    That's great, kids need that kind of support, specially since most have to endure anti -LBGT families.

    Congrats!
