Current Queer Affairs – News and Views you need to know.

DB_Tanya PlibersekThe Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek joins Dean in the studio to exclusively announce on JOY 94.9 that all gender discrimination will be completely removed from the Medicare rebate system.  This will have quite a positive impact on the health and lives of Transgendered and Intersex people in Australia.

The Federal Labor candidate for the seat of Melbourne Cath Bowtell also joins us to discuss her aspirations to be elected at the forthcoming Federal Election.

Trans spokesperson Sally Goldner gives her take on the Health Ministers announcement.

The Rev. Matt Glover reveals a new faith-based organisation is being formed to counter the damage done by the ex-gay movement.  This new entity will empower gays and lesbians of faith to live a full life accepting of their faith and sexuality but they need our help to get started.  A Pozible crowd-funding campaign has been set up for you to donate to this worthwhile cause.

JOY 94.9 has a new Weekday Program Manager, Sarah Kilalea.  SJ as she is known at the station comes from a commercial radio background, but it’s her upbringing that is most fascinating.
