Yvonne Gardener – Our Living Treasure

Arts, Health, News & Politics, Society & Culture

Our guest today has been an active member of Melbourne’s GLBTI Community for more than four decades.
Only a handful of our founding pioneers maintain a public profile these days.
Of the few that do, our guest would have to be the only heterosexual female amongst them.
I am hesitant to say it, but she may very well be the original Fag Hag
(meant with the utmost love and respect of course.)
Her personality is as bright and eccentric as her fashion sense.
And her unmistakable voice purrs like a Victor lawn mower over loose gravel.
She is Melbourne’s very own living treasure…Yvonne Gardner
