Tasmania was one of the first states to debate a ban on conversion practices but is yet to pass one and is now lagging behind. It’s time to act. Here’s Tasmanian survivor, Glen Worrell, in yesterday’s NW Advocate.

Hidden in the LGBTIQA episode of the ABC series, “Judgment”, about the High Court and human rights are two important lessons about how change happens. In this article I tease put those lessons: https://t.co/uihXhPNdJT

Thanks to Bronte Crispin at the Australian Tax Office in Burnie for inviting me to be part of a podcast for IDAHOBIT Day (May 17). You’ll have to wait till the podcast is out to learn which three historical figures I would most want to have dinner with.

It was a joy to chat to the Don College drama students who will be performing Campion Decent’s play, The Campaign, next month.

The Campaign is about the long struggle for gay law reform in Tasmania in the 1990s.

More details about the performance as they come to hand.

In recent days you may have noticed some mischievous misinformation about gender neutral toilets. A big thank you to Equality Tasmania board members, Trenton Hoare, for settings things straight in the Hobart Mercury.

Today is the 29th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania. It's a day when we reflect on how far Tasmania and the nation have come. We're already preparing for the 30th anniversary, so stay tuned!

How was the gay blood ban lifted? It wasn’t pushed by Lifeblood or major LGBTIQA organisations. It was the result of grassroots advocacy over decades. That matters because future advocates need to know how change really happens.
