Now and Then: A Look at the Lives of Three Generations of Gay Men

Allies, History, Society & Culture, Youth

Nelson, Chris, Michelle and Graham

Tonight we had the studio filled with 3 generations of gay men. We took a look back at homosexuality through the last four decades and also how the future might look.

I was joined by the Australian Lesbian & Gay Archives president Graham Willett, who came out in 1979 at the age of 23, Along with JOY’s Q Country host, Chris Snow and to provide a slightly  younger perspective, Billy Rowland and Nelson Barber.

We chatted about the changes in acceptance, decriminalisation & the inclusion throughout the broader community.

Is it better to be gay in 2015 ? That is the question.

You can listen to Q Country here on JOY 94.9 on Sundays 11 to 1.
