On Friday 22 August, over 170 attendees gathered at the iconic Bonython Hall for Play with Pride – a vibrant celebration of LGBTIQA+ inclusion and representation in sport.

The event brought together athletes, advocates, and community members to share stories, spark conversations, and champion inclusive sporting environments.

The panel featured an inspiring lineup:

· Chelsea Randall – Adelaide Crows AFLW Captain

· Maria Jose “Cote” Rojas – International Footballer

· Owen Brigstock-Barron – LGBTIQA+ Health Leader

Each speaker offered powerful insights drawn from lived experience, highlighting the importance of visibility, allyship, and systemic change in sport and beyond.

The afternoon concluded with a deeply moving conversation between Isaac Humphries, professional basketballer and LGBTIQA+ advocate, and Ali Clarke, broadcaster and journalist. Their candid discussion left a lasting impression on all in attendance, reinforcing the importance of authenticity and support in every arena of life.
