Minus18

Minus18 is an Australian organization that aims to "[smash] homophobia and transphobia through events, support, training and campaigns".

History
Minus18 began in 1998 as a space for young, same-sex attracted youth to meet others. Initially begun through hosting drug- and alcohol-free 'dance parties', Minus18 soon expanded into hosting other events and becoming more involved with the greater gay community in Melbourne, Australia.

Around 2013, Minus18 began expanding their events to include more social events outside of dances, a same-sex formal, online networking and support, and the addition of youth mentoring and resources that would later become a central part of the organization's mission.
