PROPOSITION 8
Harley Dennett, former newsman from the Sydney Star Observer, now our correspondent in Washington DC, from where he reports on what could be the most important legal case for same-sex equality for a generation – the case against Proposition 8, the referendum which struck down gay marriage in California.
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY MRS ROBINSON?
Today Freshly Doug also takes a look at the case of Iris Robinson, the wife or Northern Ireland’s Chief Minister and well known outspoken homophobe, who narrowly escaped prosecution last year for things she said about gays, and has now fallen from grace in a sex and money scandal involving a man 40 years her junior.
BUSHFIRE & YOUR PETS
We’ve just had a Code Red day in parts of Victoria, and as a resident of the urban fringe, I was very concerned about my pets. What do you do when the advice is to leave your home, but you have pets? Hotels mostly don’t take them, friends don’t have room, offices certainly don’t want you bringing your pussy in for the day . . so I asked the RSPCA, and their Bushfire Recovery Manager Catherine Scullin is here to talk about he ,lessons of last year and what’s been put in place to help us this year.
HEALTH IN DIFFERENCE
And we’ve news of the upcoming Health in Difference 2010 conference with Gabi Rosenstreich, Executive Director, National LGBT Health Alliance.
DIGGING DEEPER WITH HAYLEY CONWAY
My special guest on Digging Deeper today is Hayley Conway, co-convenor of the VGLRL – a shorter life to look back on than many of my guests ro date, but no less incident-packed for that. That’s at 10.
PLUS THE REGULARS
Andrew Potts of Sydney Star Observer returns from holiday, and in keeping with the international flavor of the show today, he’s got the story of a young man expelled from the Exclusive Brethren in New Zealand, and support for gay rights from the Mormons in Salt Lake City.
Cate the Green Renter joins us with more environmental tips, and Will Conyers will be donning his Richard Wilkins hat to bring us news of theatre around town.
