Today we launched Beautiful Women, a Campaign celebrating the beauty of LGBTI women. The Campaign recognises the diversity of beauty and the contributions LGBTI women have made in challenging narrow definitions of female beauty. Beauty is presented as ‘beyond skin’ to a sense of pride in who we are. The Campaign, which is led by BreastScreen Victoria kicks off with a photographic exhibition for Midsumma Festival showcasing photographs of LGBTI women by photographer Lisa White (thesocialphotographer.com.au). Beyond the gender binary the photographs explore the power of LGBTI women and the diverse characteristics of their beauty. For the past 7 years BreastScreen Victoria have been working to ensure their services are LGBTI inclusive (see breastscreen.org.au).
