Hares & Hyenas’ Rowland Thomson and Crusader Hillis

Gillian’ guests this week Rowland Thomson and Crusader Hillis met when they were 7 years old, have been in a relationship for almost 36 years and co-founded the iconic Hares & Hounds Bookshop 25 years ago this November.  They describe Hares & Hounds as not quite the Gay and Lesbian bookshop Melbourne was expecting but which has become a magnet for lost souls and a bookshop, cafe and performance space that celebrates our diverse queer community through music, literature and the spoken word.

Rowland & Crusader discuss with Gillian where the name Hares & Hyenas came from; the latest LGBTIQ book trends; what Ball of Wax means; their love of Hip Hop music; how martial arts features in their lives and why they had a commitment ceremony even though they don’t believe in marriage.  The music they can’t resist dancing to is an eclectic mix including the Buzzcocks, Frank Ocean and Blondie and they reckon you can dance to it in your heart, in your brain or naked on the dance floor.
