Advocacy and Activism, Sex & Sexuality, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC)

South Australia this year is celebrating 50 years of gay decriminalisation with a bevy of events from street parties to sport events and nature walks.

The flagship Adelaide Pride Gala is also taking place on Friday June 27th to honour the state’s history, celebrate the community and recognise those making a positive impact across South Australia.

In this episode of WWW we’ll hear from South Australians who were there when homosexuality was decriminalised including:

• South Australian Legislative Council Member, the Honorable Ian Hunter
• Gay Liberationist and Historian William Sergeant OAM, and
• CEO of the History Trust of South Australia, Greg Mackie OAM
