Still proud of this speech I gave in April, launching Issue 47(1) of the UNSW Law Journal. I talk about current LGBTIQ law reform issues in NSW, intertwined with some personal experiences as a member of, & advocate for, the LGBTIQ community. [From 18:55]

A reminder I've joined the exodus to the other place, and will be posting only infrequently (if at all) on here from now on. Hope to see you all where the skies are blue...

Oh, and for those on the platform, I occasionally publish longer LGBTIQ+ discrimination and law reform-related posts on my LinkedIn feed. You can find me (t)here:

Honestly, what else is there to say? That hasn't already been said, in myriad ways, on this hell-site over the past 24 hrs? And obviously this hell-site, & especially its owner, are part of the problem. Anyway, it's probably time to step away and (re-)think deeply for a bit...

"It's inconceivable that people with disabilities are still facing so many barriers to service, but hopefully this will set a precedent for improved disability standards and better practices from many businesses." #auslaw

RT @alawriedejesus: Looking forward to appearing on this panel on Thursday.

The Australian still publishing its regular attacks on health care for trans kids. Surely even the so-called journalists involved must be getting bored of pumping out this ill-informed drivel...

Looking forward to appearing on this panel on Thursday.

"Earlier this year, Rainbow Families, a not-for-profit organisation for LGBTIQ+ families, conducted a survey that found around half of LGBTIQ+ parents had not received any Medicare rebates when trying to conceive at Australian clinics." #rainbowfamilies

"Whereas a teacher might pick up another student because they make a racist comment, they're less likely to do so if they make a homophobic or transphobic comment."

Antisemitism, racism and homophobia tolerated on Australian billionaire’s site

Speaking outside court, Faruqi said the decision was a “warning to people like Senator Hanson & others that they will be held accountable for the hate speech that comes out of their mouths”. ‘This ruling draws a line that hate speech is not free speech.’

JD Vance apparently said this today: "Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if me and Trump won just the normal gay guy vote because, again, they just wanted to be left the hell alone." Yeah, not today Satan. Or tomorrow either. #LGBwiththeT. Always.

"Stewart found Hanson’s comment that Faruqi should “piss off back to Pakistan” was a “variant of the slogan ‘go back to from where you came from’” which he said was an “evident racist trope” and a “strong form of racism”. #auspol #auslaw

"Almost half of LGBTQ+ respondents (46%) reported being a victim of at least one crime in the previous year, compared to a third of non-LGBTQ+ people (31%)." Difficult to see this not being replicated on this side of the Tasman too.

RT @HumanRights4NSW: People in NSW are amongst the only citizens in the democratic world living without a #HumanRightsAct or bill of rights…

Sadly, it seems unlikely the new LNP Govt will end the abhorrent 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' laws for LGBTQ teachers in religious schools, reinforcing how disappointing it was for the Labor Govt to walk away from its promises on this issue in June. #qldpol

"Students and faculty of the catholic university had staged a mass walkout when de Bruyn started comparing abortion to deaths during World War 2, and railed against same-sex marriages and IVF for women." Good. His views don't deserve an audience.
