We open tonights show hearing from part of Spencer Gorman’s speech at the Equal Love Rally and Mass Illegal Wedding – Melbourne on the weekend, where more than 20,000 people surrounded the State Library to stand up against the postal plebiscite and to stand together in solidarity and vote YES for Equality.

First up, WA Labor leader Mark McGowan has announced a commitment to LGBTI Equality if he wins the next election, we chat to Jason Mann, Vice Chairperson at Rainbow Rights WA about what this means for the state.

We speak to Lochie Bay who is president of the Lane Cove Theatre Company about an attack after their closing production of Holding the Man that saw the tyres slashed of cast, crew and audience members.

Don’t forget about this NSW Rally for Equality in September.

Steven Bruni speaks about what it is like to be a gay man in the service, as well as what it is like someone uses a personal image of pride against you for their own personal crusade.
