Allies, Education, Society & Culture

Daniel Witthaus and Michelle

How to challenge homophobia, “1 cuppa at a time” – This is how Daniel Witthaus does it, on a 266 day journey  through rural, remote and regional Australia, as told in his latest book Beyond Priscilla.

He has an uncanny way to get folks talking, in his relaxed and unthreatening way. Daniel chats to us about the surprising frankness of some and the lack of interest by others. This is a man on a mission and throughout his life has always had a true sense of what is right. Daniel is a real leader in education, he is the founder of NICHE – National Institute for Challenging Homophobia Education, which focuses on the needs of regional, rural and remote Australia.
