You can also use a tribe. And if you're feeling fancy, a parliament of magpies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen I thought about what Wear It Purple Day means to me, I kept coming back to the idea of community. How do we find each other? How we grow? And how we protect one another? To me, the community is a sky wide enough for everyone to fly exactly as they are. That’s the feeling I wanted to capture for this year's Wear It Purple Day. This is my way of amplifying our shared stories, celebrating who we are, and reminding everyone that our joy and our advocacy go hand in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor the front of the shirt, I wanted to capture pure queer joy, the warmth of chosen family and the beauty of embracing your authentic self. You've got all these magpies, coloured in the vibrant shades of pride flags (see if you can match the magpie to the flag!). They are just hanging out: flying, chilling, having fun and existing. You can spot some juvenile magpies going out into the world for the first time. That transition can be a really daunting experience for rainbow young people! But finding a safe, supportive space makes all the difference, and there are mentor magpies looking out for the young ones. For me and so many other young people, the community is a source of belonging, connection, mutuality, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBut the community is also about standing up for each other. It is built on collective resilience and unity. On the back, the (Unity Pride Flag) magpies are determined and fierce and a force to be reckoned with, swooping in unison to protect their own. They are a representation of our history, our solidarity with allies, and a reminder to never stop fighting for our rights and community members who need our support the most. It's a tribute to those who came before us and a promise to the future: in the face of adversity, you are not alone. We fly with pride, and we fly together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhyNot and Y Gear gives us the platform to share our stories, and these are mine. I hope my design gives young people across Australia pride and comfort from the front of the shirt, and a sense of solidarity and strength on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStay colourful and courageous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg\u003eSize Chart:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5657\/files\/Screenshot_2024-07-17_at_1.53.04_PM.png?v=1721188414\" width=\"414\" height=\"123\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YMCA Gear","offers":[{"title":"S \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492374995120,"sku":"YWIPDT26(S)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375027888,"sku":"YWIPDT26(S)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375060656,"sku":"YWIPDT26(M)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375093424,"sku":"YWIPDT26(M)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375126192,"sku":"YWIPDT26(L)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375158960,"sku":"YWIPDT26(L)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375191728,"sku":"YWIPDT26(XL)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375224496,"sku":"YWIPDT26(XL)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375257264,"sku":"YWIPDT26(2XL)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375290032,"sku":"YWIPDT26(2XL)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375322800,"sku":"YWIPDT26(3XL)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375355568,"sku":"YWIPDT26(3XL)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375388336,"sku":"YWIPDT26(4XL)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375421104,"sku":"YWIPDT26(4XL)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL \/ Wholesale","offer_id":45492375453872,"sku":"YWIPDT26(5XL)","price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL \/ Retail","offer_id":45492375486640,"sku":"YWIPDT26(5XL)","price":36.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5657\/files\/wear-it-purple-tee-front-new.jpg?v=1785471242","url":"https:\/\/www.ymcagear.com.au\/products\/whynot-wear-it-purple-birds-of-a-feather-limited-edition-tee-pre-order","provider":"YMCA Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
