AFL in a good headspace
Good news on youth mental health: headspace have partnered with the AFL to launch a television commercial featuring AFL players taking a stand against homophobia. Headspace CEO Christ Tanti is with us to celebrate this great move.
Multicultural Health
Daniel Reeders will join us with details of the Multicultural LGBTI Health Forum coming up at the Convention Centre June 6.
Maybe Baby - legally
We’ll look over the legal aspects of same-sex parenting, especially the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act, with Kristina Antoniades, from Nicholes Family Law. http://www.nicholeslaw.com.au/
Live from Washington DC
Our Washington correspondent Harley Dennett has the latest news of the agonising process of getting rid of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the USA. Congress is about to vote: but will it be what gay servicemembers are looking for, or just another round of delays?
UK sexual health guru
The leading advocate for GLBTI youth in the UK and CEO of the nations largest sexual health service for under-25s, Simon Blake will be joining us in the studio. Simon is an outspoken advocate for same-sex attracted youth.
Gay in Alice
Daniel Witthaus’s tour challenging homophobia in rural and regional Australia has reached the Alice. What’s the town like?
Escape to Broadway
Will Conyers is my special guest this week on Digging Deeper. You may think you know Will through Broadway at Bedtime, but you may not know what a lynchpin of Australian musical theatre he is. Find out At 10.
