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.

I truly wish I could go to see this - but the trip from Sydney might take a bit long.

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.

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.

It was an honour to launch Dr Trish Hindmarsh’s new book about LGBTIQA acceptance in the Catholic Church. Fullers was packed. The fellow-feeling was strong.
