Community and Context

This section explores the growth of the lesbian and gay movement to the present day. The expansion of public awareness and moves towards LGBT inclusion are charted through individual stories. Interviewees share thoughts and examples of personal visibility, political activism, involvement in different organisations, HIV/AIDS, Section 28, and agenda-setting for public debate. Their stories cover a wealth of important organisations and incidents that make up our histories.
