Shelly Argent, the national spokesperson for PFLAG  joins us and after a wonderful Brisbane Pride she is all fired up about the fighters of equality being called bullies and she has something to say.

 

5 of the foremost mental health groups in the country have jointly released results which say enabling same-sex marriage would prevent 3000 teen suicide attempts a year. ReachOut, Headspace, Orygen, the Black Dog Institute and Sydney University’s Brain and Mind Centre shine a light on one of the biggest concerns the LGBTIQ community has been raising amidst the ongoing postal survey process and want to fight this fight the right way, with facts. #mindthefacts

Also, we would like to remind you that by today (25/09/17), all of the postal survey forms should have been received in your mail. If your postal survey hasn’t arrived, then today is the day that you can request a replacement form here.
