Perth Indymedia

Queer Youth Event, Glitter Nova, was cancelled last Thursday after safety threats from a Neo Nazi group. The event, which was organised by @stronningtonyouthservices and the council will be postponed to another date; however, was canceling the right option? While the event was cancelled, 200+ showed up in solidarity, including Drag performers and community allies alike. @tomtanuki - Antifascist commentator and community organiser, unpacks what happened, why cancelling such events is not conducive to any assurance of safety, and how the activist and anti-fascist community will always stand in solidarity with those at risk.
