History, LGBTI Community, Society & Culture, Uncategorized

Jac  Tomlins is a mother, a wife and an educator. However when you peel back her life, you can see the vast impact she has had on the LGBTIQ community, in this country and across the world. Coming out as a 23 year old teacher, to help forge a safe space for queer youth amidst the reign of the Thatcher administration, unwittingly led to a life of advocacy and activism.

In later years she has become a co founder of the political party, the Australian Equality Party, and more recently penned a mystery/adventure novel for primary-aged kids that features a rainbow family.

Join host Lisa “Dano” Daniel, as she is educated on the life and times of Jac Tomlins.
