Elderly LGBT+ people are experiencing isolation during #COVID. How can we ensure that this community feel less isolated during the pandemic? We spoke with Switchboard Victoria CEO Joe Ball about their program working to fix this problem.  

In this podcast, we also take a look into legislation in QLD and the ACT to ban LGBTI+ conversion practices.  To find out how this legislation is travelling, we spoke to Mark Spencer, the Director of Public Policy for Christian Schools Australia and Nathan Despott from Brave Melbourne, a survivor advocacy group. 

What’s the potentially worrying news for the queer community when we look at the upcoming US election and Naked Ballots in Pennsylvania? A queer member from Pennsylvania has words.
