Last week over 600 delegates Australia and overseas, attended the first the Better Together Conference, exploring issues facing the LGBTI movement and bringing together diverse voices from across our communities and discussing what it would mean to work better together and how we could achieve this.

What would a more inclusive LGTBI conversation look like?

 

One of the big themes that was talked about in the conference was that the lesbian and gay communities need to do more work to become better allies to the Bi, Trans and Intersex communities, but how do we do that?

Ian Muchamore spoke to trans advocate and educator Sally Tia Conning, President of the Organisation Instersex  International Australia, Morgan Carpenter and queer artist and advocate for bi voices, Dani Weber at the conference and asked how the L & G can support the I T B?

This segment aired on The Informer on JOY 94.9 on 15th January 2018.
