We briefly explored the history of gay rights in Australia, including laws referring to same-sex marriage around the world. Some of the artists included in last night's playlist were K.D Lang, Janis Ian, Elton John, Peter Allen, Liberace and the Indigo Girls.
Next week, I hope to explore this topic further, especially the difficulties faced by young people who live in rural areas and maybe struggling with their sexuality.
Next week our theme will be "Brave, courageous and strong", and I hope to explore this theme more, especially the issues facing young people in the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender) community living in rural areas, or rural youth who may be struggling with their sexuality. I hope to explore the subject of people who have to be brave when faced with difficulties in their lives (being diagnosed with a terminal illness perhaps).
