"We decided to photograph them all," White said. "The women who volunteered told us they loved the idea of celebrating the diversity of LGBTI women and they wanted to support BreastScreen Victoria."

BreastScreen's CEO Vicki Pridmore said in a statement that the photographs will assure LGBTQ women the organisation's staff "will provide inclusive services that understand their needs."
