The Full Colour Project

The Full Colour Project is a unique doco series and campaign for LGBTIQA+ equality. It started in 2012, when Suzi Taylor began shooting the documentary Love in Full Colour. It followed 12 queer teenagers over several years, and captured their experiences of being bullied, falling in love and attending the Minus18 Queer Formal.

The campaign for LGBTIQA+ equality, respect and safety

Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at school, at work and in their communities, regardless of who they love or how they identify. But LGBTIQA+ people in Australia continue to be confronted with stigma, prejudice and discrimination across multiple areas of their lives. The consequences of this are dire.

LGBTIQA+ Health Australia statistics from 2021 show that more than a quarter of LGBTQA+ teens under the age of 17 and almost half of all trans people between 14 and 25 have attempted suicide. Many participants in 'Love in Full Colour' discussed depression and suicidality - often in the context of experiencing rejection, stigma and discrimination at home, school and/or at work. One participant, Jules, tragically took his own life.

We need a holistic, proactive approach to reforming schools, laws and workplaces to create a world where LGBTIQA+ youth are safe, respected, equal and included.

The Full Colour Project aims to eliminate LGBTIQA+ discrimination and end the disproportionate rates of LGBTIQA+ youth suicide.

Our goal is to make schools and workplaces consistently safe, respectful, inclusive spaces, and to empower LGBTIQA+ youth.

We see schools, in particular, as the starting point for attitudinal change.

Additionally, we aim to reform key areas of law to create greater equality for LGBTIQA+ people.
