Troye Sivan has used his platform as a pop singer to promote equality and support a new Qantas campaign in the lead up to Mardi Gras.

Sivan uploaded a cute selfie with his rumoured boyfriend—model Jacob Bixenman—with the hashtag #EqualityIsVisibility.
“Knew I loved for a reason! Make your own one of these and tell me what equality is to you,” Sivan wrote underneath the photo.

Qantas has been encouraging social media users to upload their own photos to their website saying “A picture can tell a thousand words – but sometimes, all you need is one.”
Users have embraced the hashtag, posting pictures of themselves and their interpretation of equality, using the words “Acceptance”, “Not hiding” and “Overdue” to describe the concept.
