I’m a gay man. I am an atheist, a believer in the separation of church and state, secularism.

The toy I have now is 1 inch thick at the base with three ridges of 2 inches thick. It goes in easily and I thought the ridges would stop it from slipping out. But you’re right, as my hole gets a lot of use it’s natural to upsize. Thanks

Tonight I was invited to speak at Koiki Mabo Chambers in Melbourne about the High Court cases recently featured in the “Love” episode in the ABC’s series, Judgment. We then all watched the doco. It was not a little moving to see the documentary again.

All women will be disadvantaged if discrimination laws are weakened to allow discrimination against trans women. To explain how, here’s Leonie Crosse in today’s Hobart Mercury.

Tasmania was one of the first states to debate a ban on conversion practices but is yet to pass one and is now lagging behind. It’s time to act. Here’s Tasmanian survivor, Glen Worrell, in yesterday’s NW Advocate.

Rudd let us down ! Gillard let us down ! And Albanese is most definitely letting us down (to the point of abandonment). You might have a point about Shorten: but there’s an irony in the fact that a Liberal prime minister got us marriage equality - even IF it wasn’t to everyone’s liking.

It is worrying that the ‘love-is-love’ message is not getting through to certain members of society. Surely though, it is indeed an endearing and noble thought. And thankfully it has worked with two thirds of the Australian population (eg: the Marriage Equality plebiscite of 2017).

Nothing will happen. Even though the damage caused wîll take a generation to repair, the tr*mp administration will get off scotfree. And they will all end up in high-salaried positions in the billionaires-sphere. There’ll be no trials, no comments by the right wing media : it will all just disappear

As parliament debates national hate laws, we ask why have so many Australians vulnerable to hate been excluded? If you agree every Australian deserves equal protection - no matter our ability, sexuality, gender or religion - call your local MP, and like and share this post.

Tasmania has adopted anti-hate laws covering everyone equally, unlike the federal proposal which is limited to race and marred by exemptions. This coming week Tasmania’s federal members must take the message to the national parliament that strong anti-hate laws work.
