Hawks Pride
Hawks Pride aims to provide an inclusive LGBTQIA+ supporter group that welcomes and embraces all members of the community.
The group will host regular social events, watch games together and connect with the club.
The group was created by three die-hard Hawthorn Football Club fans in 2017. The group welcomes members from diverse sexuality, gender and cultural backgrounds.
Hawks Pride will join with similar groups at other AFL clubs to form a collective organisation to represent LGBTIQ AFL supporters.
