Jon Kok – A Host of JOY’s Hide & Seek, Two Decades of Involvement with Sydney Leather Pride, Sex & Sexual Health Educator

In this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes talks with Out, Proud Gay Man, Jon Kok (Pronouns he/they) who began his rainbow journey as one of the founders of the Generation Youth float for Mardi Gras in the 90s, before moving into student activism as one of the Sydney Uni Sexuality Officers in the early 2000s. He spent much of the 2000s and 2010s as the Secretary or on the committee of Sydney Leather Pride before moving to Melbourne in 2015. He’s put on fireworks displays for Mardi Gras and the Bears, is the Secretary of PrEPaccessNOW (an HIV prevention charity) and has been delivering sexual health and sex education to the rainbow communities for more than 2 decades. Jon’s been an event manager, a massage therapist and business networking coach. Jon is a host of JOY’s Hide and Seek, and joined the JOY staff this year as the Office Coordinator and now the Office Manager.
