Pride & Progress: Celebrating Unsung Heroes of Australia's Queer Community

Out Loud: Exploring LGBTIQA+ Stories & Topics.

Join us on a journey that reaches back in time to the pivotal Stonewall Riots, and travels forward through Australia's unique queer history. We guarantee this episode is a treasure trove of lesser-known facts, key moments, and individuals who have championed the rights of the LG BTI QA Plus community. We'll share with you how the ripple effects of Stonewall have echoed across the globe, and how local heroes have shaped Victorian history for the better.
We'll indulge in untold stories of brave activists, like Rodney Croom, who pushed for the decriminalization of homosexuality in Tasmania, and others like Ro Alan , Alex Greenwich, and Ali Hogg whose efforts have shaped the present and future of our community. Hear our personal connections to these remarkable individuals, and how their tireless work has influenced us. We promise an inspiring journey of resilience, courage and unyielding dedication that redefines the very essence of activism.
But it's not all serious history and activism. We'll also joyfully celebrate those unsung heroes who have added color and vibrancy to Australia's queer culture. Their names may not be in every history book, but their contributions are felt every day. By the end of this episode, you'll have a newfound appreciation for these tireless advocates who have shaped our community and continue to pave the way for a more inclusive future.
So join us, as we take pride in our past, honor our present, and look forward to a future where everyone is celebrated for who they are.
