global symbol for HIV\/AIDS awareness, why does Victoria\u2019s Red Ribbon look different to the rest? Tex McKenzie shares its history.","articleSection":"VIC","articleBody":"It's a global symbol for HIV\/AIDS awareness, so why does Victoria\u2019s Red Ribbon look different to the rest? The first World AIDS Day, which occurred on December 1st, 1988, is recognised globally as an international day of awareness. It\u2019s a day to show support for people living with HIV and remember those we\u2019ve lost. One of the ways we do this is by purchasing and wearing a red ribbon. It was created by the 12 artists who made up the New York-based Visual AIDS\u00a0Artists Caucus in 1991. The ribbons were inspired by yellow ribbons tied to trees honouring American soldiers in the Gulf War. Red was chosen for its connection to blood, passion and heart. Its shape, with a loop at the top, was easy to make, it had no significance. Seeing the ribbon overseas, Brent Lacey decided to create something like it at home in Victorian. And the uniquely Victorian Red Ribbon was created. Photo thanks to the Australian Queer archives.Brent Lacey, August 1992, photographer unidentified (possibly Bill Calder), Brother Sister Collection More ribbon per roll \u201cBrent found that if he got rid of the loop at the top, he could get an extra 200 ribbons out of a roll,\u201d Tex McKenzie explained. For many years, Tex was a tireless worker and volunteer for Thorne Harbour Health, previously known as the Victorian AIDS Council (VAC). This is one of his favourite topics to share with the community. \u201cBrent was a flight attendant and saw the red ribbons in a bookshop. He asked what they were about and learned they were a remembrance of people who had died of AIDS,\" Tex said. \u201cThey were on display as a public awareness raising tool.\u201d Purchasing the ribbons was also a way of raising money for local organisations. This was something that Brent decided he wanted to bring back to his home in Victoria. Bringing the community together, Brent would make and distribute the ribbons in LGBTQ+ venues. Removing the loop meant that they could get more out of a roll of ribbon. \u201cRibbons didn't exist as a fundraising tool before 1992 in Australia,\u201d Tex told us. \u201cThe Red Ribbon became so identifiable with HIV and raising awareness that other charities took it up. \u201cFor 32 years, it has been a conversation starter. Here in Australia, it was something Brent thought up and brought back. \u201cHe started distribution through the leather community at The Laird Hotel. \u201cThis was before the venue became men-only, and all sorts would come and sit down and make red ribbons for our first World AIDS Day.\u201d thorneharbour.org Who\u2019s going to buy a ribbon? While a great idea, this was no small achievement and got a bit much for Brent the next year. He approached the fundraising committee of the then Victorian AIDS Council and asked about collaborating. \u201cHe offered to collaborate or even have them take the project over as December was getting closer.\u201d \u201cPeople had heard about the ribbons and wanted them,\u201d Tex said. \u201cThey had seen the ones with the loop coming out of the US, and these were different. Brent was distributing them Australia-wide.\u201d The AIDS Council didn\u2019t think this was something people would spend money on. \u201cThey didn\u2019t think anybody was going to buy a little piece of ribbon to stick on themselves so people would talk about HIV,\u201d Tex said. So Brent soldiered on with the project with plenty of community help. The Red Ribbon was worn at the AFL Grand Final and stocked at The Body Shop, creating conversation and awareness. \u201cHaving that visibility at the Grand Final leading up to World AIDs Day was amazing,\u201d Tex said. \u201cBrent knew someone at The Body Shop who agreed to have ribbons in every shop across Australia. All of that money came back to the Red Ribbon project. \u201cWhen the David Williams Fund was established, all of the money for the next two decades went there.\u201d The David Williams Fund provides emergency financial assistance to people living with HIV experiencing financial hardship. \u201cWhen the second cheque came in for how much money was raised, the Victorian AIDS Council were happy to take over the project,\u201d Tex said. thorneharbour.org Continuing the community legacy It wasn\u2019t just about the loop; the safety pin showing was also a part of the design. \u201cIn the 80s, they didn\u2019t know what was causing HIV,\u201d Tex said. \u201cIf you were looking for sex with condoms, you could signal others by pinning a safety pin to the top of your shirt. Then people would know that you were looking for safe sex.\u201d Gay men in America used this as a code more than Aussies. Without the loop to hide the pin, incorporating it as a visible part of the Victorian Red Ribbon was part of Brent\u2019s design. In 2022, Thorne Harbour Health introduced Red Ribbon Making Workshops. This is a way to continue Brent\u2019s community legacy and share the story of Victoria\u2019s Red Ribbon. Ahead of this weekend\u2019s Red Ribbon Street Appeal, workshops are taking place in Victoria to make the ribbons. This weekend, get one from Thorne Harbour volunteers. They're on the streets from 29 November to 2 December, handing them out. Wearing a red ribbon reminds everyone that HIV Still Matters. thorneharbour.org For the latest LGBTIQA+\u00a0Sister Girl and Brother Boy\u00a0news,\u00a0entertainment,\u00a0community stories\u00a0in Australia, visit\u00a0qnews.com.au.

support for people living with HIV and remember those we’ve lost. One of the ways we do this is by purchasing and wearing a red ribbon.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It was created by the 12 artists who made up the New York-based Visual AIDS Artists Caucus in 1991.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The ribbons were inspired by yellow ribbons tied to trees honouring American soldiers in the Gulf War.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Red was chosen for its connection to blood, passion and heart. Its shape, with a loop at the top, was easy to make, it had no significance.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Seeing the ribbon overseas, Brent Lacey decided to create something like it at home in Victorian. And the uniquely Victorian Red Ribbon was created.</p> <figure id="attachment_148006" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-148006" style="width: 950px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-148006 size-full" src="https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/128050522_1321926211481351_1433350980832576445_n.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="642" srcset="https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/128050522_1321926211481351_1433350980832576445_n.jpg 960w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/128050522_1321926211481351_1433350980832576445_n-300x201.jpg 300w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/128050522_1321926211481351_1433350980832576445_n-768x514.jpg 768w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/128050522_1321926211481351_1433350980832576445_n-365x244.jpg 365w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-148006" class="wp-caption-text">Photo thanks to the Australian Queer archives.<br />Brent Lacey, August 1992, photographer unidentified (possibly Bill Calder), Brother Sister Collection</figcaption></figure> <h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>More ribbon per roll</strong></span></h2> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Brent found that if he got rid of the loop at the top, he could get an extra 200 ribbons out of a roll,” Tex McKenzie explained.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For many years, Tex was a tireless worker and volunteer for Thorne Harbour Health, previously known as the Victorian AIDS Council (VAC).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This is one of his favourite topics to share with the community.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Brent was a flight attendant and saw the red ribbons in a bookshop. He asked what they were about and learned they were a remembrance of people who had died of AIDS,” Tex said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“They were on display as a public awareness raising tool.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Purchasing the ribbons was also a way of raising money for local organisations.

Brent was distributing them Australia-wide.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The AIDS Council didn’t think this was something people would spend money on.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“They didn’t think anybody was going to buy a little piece of ribbon to stick on themselves so people would talk about HIV,” Tex said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">So Brent soldiered on with the project with plenty of community help.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Red Ribbon was worn at the AFL Grand Final and stocked at The Body Shop, creating conversation and awareness.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Having that visibility at the Grand Final leading up to World AIDs Day was amazing,” Tex said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Brent knew someone at The Body Shop who agreed to have ribbons in every shop across Australia. All of that money came back to the Red Ribbon project.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“When the David Williams Fund was established, all of the money for the next two decades went there.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The David Williams Fund provides emergency financial assistance to people living with HIV experiencing financial hardship.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“When the second cheque came in for how much money was raised, the Victorian AIDS Council were happy to take over the project,” Tex said.</p> <figure id="attachment_148008" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-148008" style="width: 1666px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-148008 size-full" src="https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676.jpg" alt="" width="1676" height="750" srcset="https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676.jpg 1676w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676-300x134.jpg 300w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676-1024x458.jpg 1024w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676-768x344.jpg 768w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676-1536x687.jpg 1536w, https://qnews.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/WAD_Ribbon_Making_Banner.width-1676-440x197.jpg 440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1676px) 100vw, 1676px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-148008" class="wp-caption-text">thorneharbour.org</figcaption></figure> <h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Continuing the community legacy</strong></span></h2> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It wasn’t just about the loop; the safety pin showing was also a part of the design.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“In the 80s, they didn’t know what was causing HIV,” Tex said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“If you were looking for sex with condoms, you could signal others by pinning a safety pin to the top of your shirt. Then people would know that you were looking for safe sex.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Gay men in America used this as a code more than Aussies.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Without the loop to hide the pin, incorporating it as a visible part of the Victorian Red Ribbon was part of Brent’s design.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022, Thorne Harbour Health introduced Red Ribbon Making Workshops. This is a way to continue Brent’s community legacy and share the story of Victoria’s Red Ribbon.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Ahead of this weekend’s Red Ribbon Street Appeal, workshops are taking place in Victoria to make the ribbons.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This weekend, get one from Thorne Harbour volunteers.
