We arrive to a boarding gate dressed up like a rainbow piñata. Well-known Brisbane drag performers shimmy down the concourse, passengers pose for snaps in front of multi-coloured backdrops. Golden Gaytime ice-creams and cocktails topped with glittery fairy floss are passed around a sea of fluttering rainbow flags. VIRGIN AUSTRALIA Some of the stars of the flight. "It's a privilege to lead a company that celebrates diversity and inclusion in the way that Virgin Australia does, and I'm incredibly proud of our team who have created such a fantastic event for LGBTQ+ people and their allies to celebrate Pride," Virgin Australia Group CEO and managing director Jayne Hrdlicka says ahead of the flight departing.
