FRESHLY DOUG THURSDAY 11 FEBRUARY

Gay dads


A review of the revamped Pride March, rainbow families not just for women, a Crusader takes the helm at ALSO, a Russian patriarch relents & Pakistani eunuchs are legally recognised.

LOOK BACK WITH PRIDE

This week we’ll take a look back at the Pride March last Sunday with a sound picture of the event, but I want to know: did it work for you at the new time? The crowd seemed really quiet, didn’t they? Why do you think that was? Let me know. And why did everyone march so fast? Was it a good idea to have it on the same weekend as the bushfire memorials?

GAY DADS TO THE FORE

This weekend the Rainbow Families Conference is on again, including for the first time a Mens Only Workshop talking about ways men can create family. Brian is in the studio to tell us why Rainbow Families aren’t just for women.

CRUSADER TAKES THE HELM

After a protracted process and a second round of advertising, the ALSO Foundation finally found a new CEO – Crusader Hillis, half-owner of Hares & Hyenas, lately director at Gasworks Arts Park, joins us to talk about why he took the job, and his vision for the organisation.

NIGEL WRIGHT DIGS DEEP

As always between 10 and 11 I spend an hour with someone special. Today’s guest is someone who used to be heard here quite often and it’s a pleasure welcome back Nigel Wright, the out gay Anglican priest. He joins us at 10.


A RUSSIAN PATRIARCH RELENTS & PAKISTANI EUNUCHS ARE LEGALLY RECOGNISED

Andrew Potts from Sydney Star Observer and Southern Star will be along with news of a slightly pro-gay change of heart by the Russian Patriarch, and the legal recognition of a third sex in Pakistan.

THEATRE NEWS

And Will Conyers brings us all the latest local theatre news.
