Everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager.
There is a paradox quietly eating away at contemporary life, and you have likely felt it yourself.

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like marmite." Not homophobia, transphobia, not human rights. Not basic common decency. We do not have a difference of opinion here. We have a difference in morality. Disagreeing with the validity of someone's identity and the rights and services they deserve or don't deserve because of it is discrimination, not disagreement.

Many of the participants and facilitators of today’s session. 15 smiling faces at the end of the day, standing in front of the wall of posters used to generate discussion and learning together. Wide view of the room, showing half the group. Bas standing holding a poster as Lee explains the concept. Ten people sitting in chairs around the edges of a room with white walls covered in posters, a wooden floor and with doors open and the art park in the background. A centrepiece of a circular cloth with aboriginal design, various objects on it including markers/textas, talking objects, tissues and fans.
