Rainbow Futures

Monday, 22 January 2018 - 8:30am to 9:00am
As we move into 2018, and the dust settles on the Marriage Equality Bill which has now moved into law, and a few more wedding bells have started ringing, this week’s show looks to what’s next for LGBTIQ plus communities across Australia, and the campaigns, struggles and celebrations ahead.

We speak to Karen Field from Queerspace on future health campaigns for LGBTIQ+ communities, highlighting links between recent public discourse and mental health and a new focus on family violence.

Lee Carnie from the Human Rights Law Centre takes a focus on legal campaigns, including stopping medically unnecessary surgery for intersex people and easier changes to birth certs for trans communities.

We finish the show with a look to the future plans of LGBTIQ+ communities across Australia who met at the recent Better Together Conference.
