World Wide Wave

We are one…but we are many…or so the famed song goes.  But how inclusive is Australia of its multicultural communities – and what changes when you look at the queer multicultural community or multi-faith communities – or both combined?  Here we explore the complexity and diversity of the multicultural and multi-faith LGBTIQ communities right here in Australia.

• How does racism impact the LGBTI community?
• Has homophobia changed in the community since the success of marriage equality?
• What are the strategies to end discrimination based on ethnicity, religion and LGBTIQ identities?

To help us understand multiculturalism and our rainbow community, we were joined in the studio by:

• Budi Sudarto – from the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council (www.agmc.org.au) 
• Dr Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli – Senior Lecturer in Social Diversity in Health and Education at Deakin University
