| Mr Cedric Yin-Cheng | 郑宇正 先生 University of Technology Sydney Macquarie University President of Australia & New Zealand Tongzhi Rainbow Alliance Inc. 悉尼科技大学和麦考瑞大学校友 澳纽华语同志彩虹联盟主席 Sydney based Australia & New Zealand Tongzhi Rainbow Alliance Inc. (ANTRA) is a community-based non-profit organisation incorporated under the NSW Associations Incorporation Act 2009 in December 2018 but we have been presenting ourselves in the young Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking LGBTQIA+ communities in 2013 in the form of social chat groups on WeChat, LINE, Facebook and various online forums. We have now over 2,000 members and followers throughout WeChat, LINE, Facebook, Weibo and Instagram. ANTRA is registered with the NSW Fair Trading in the hope of fostering community awareness and growth amongst Mandarin and Cantonese speaking LGBTQIA+ self-identifying people. ANTRA represents a wider population of Mandarin and Cantonese speaking LGBTQIA+ communities in all Australian states and New Zealand. ANTRA is founded on the foundation to celebrate and embrace diversity, but most importantly, to become a point-of-contact and support for Mandarin and Cantonese speaking LGBTQIA+ community members, particularly migrants, international students and other newly arrived diasporas. ANTRA aims to: · Establish a social networking platform for Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking LGBTQIA+ community members; · Advocate for the rights, interests and welfares of Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking LGBTQIA+ community members; and · Support and guide the health and self-identifying journey of Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking LGBTQIA+ community members. The impact of ANTRA is profound. Not only has ANTRA been able to represent and advocate for the Mandarin & Cantonese speaking LGBTQIA+ people in Australia, it is also the community group that visualises the livelihood of the community that in the past was hidden. The LGBTQIA+ Chinese community in Australia is often marginalised due to the unique identity of a double minority. We find it hard to fit in to either the LGBTQIA+ and the Chinese communities often due to us being different. Many of whom are young international students, new migrants or refugee visa seekers. Cedric has organised events such as educational seminars, public conferences, Fair Day and Mardi Gras to increase visibility of the community. Cedric于2018年创立澳纽彩盟（ANTRA），非盈利非政府组织，旨在为澳大利亚以及新西兰地区的华语同志 (LGBTQIA+) 人群提供一个交流、互助和支持的平台。 ANTRA在微信，LINE, Facebook, Weibo和Instagram上有超过2000名成员和粉丝；希望在说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+自我认同的人群中培养和发展社区意识。ANTRA代表着澳大利亚各州和新西兰更广泛的说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+社区。ANTRA的成立是为了庆祝和拥抱多样性，但最重要的是，成为一个接触点和支持说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+社区成员，特别是移民、国际学生和其他新移民。目的是： – 为说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+社区成员搭建社交平台; – 倡导说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+社区成员的权益和福利;和支持和指导说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+社区成员的健康和自我认同之旅。 – ANTRA的影响是深远的。ANTRA不仅能够代表和倡导澳大利亚说普通话和粤语的LGBTQIA+人群，它还是一个社区团体，它将过去隐藏的社区生活可视化。 |
