@abc: WARNING: This story contains homophobic language. The ABC’s Monday Conference visited Mount Isa, Queensland in 1976 where locals were keen to have their say on the topic of gay liberation. Homosexuality was still illegal in most parts of Australia, and pioneering LGBTQ+ activist Lex Watson faced questions from both supporters and detractors. One abusive member of the audience had to be escorted away by police after pouring excrement at Watson’s feet. Monday Conference – Homosexual Rights and Wrongs - Stream now on ABC iview. #Archive #LGBTQIA #QueerHistory #AustralianHistory #Pride

@Dunston90🌈 :
the public by and large believe what they are told and hate who they are told to hate. Changing that mindset took a lot of effort.

The interesting take on all of this is the church has been responsible for how many crimes against children over decades but these blokes are ignorant of this fact.
