"The notion that ‘the gays’ or trans ppl can ‘redeem’ themselves, or ‘choose’ an alternative path is a fallacy, built on a dated & pathologising ideology, & not on what the scientific evidence of human sexuality & gender tell us." ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill https://t.co/q0wZL2eyzU

Alex Greenwich gives a shout out to fellow independent Greg Piper, a staunch LGBTIQ ally, and the other gay on the village, liberal Bruce Notley-Smith. Acknowledges stirring working relationship with all attendees.

[NSW GLRL @NSWGLRL]

Jenny Leong taking about pushing boundaries, making people feel safer by being equal legally. Post election Upper house is likely to be more religious and conservative: Latham, Leyonhelm. That's not good news for our community (and many others).

[NSW GLRL @NSWGLRL]

[NSW GLRL @NSWGLRL]

Jenny Leong from the Greens takes the stage. Notes it's her first forum as a member of parliament, to Trevor & Don's 3rd (think I've got that right?).
