Beyond 'Thats So Gay'

NEW 2010 TOUR: If you don't know ' beyond thats so gay' go here to have a look at the website and see thier tour dates. Working on homophobia is everybody's business. Too many people are isolated, bullied and oppressed on the basis of thier attraction. Its time to stop homophobia. This is one way

'1999 the Australian Human Rights Commission initiated Outlink, a national network of support and advocacy services for young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people living in rural Australia.

Outlink found that despite the overwhelming need and gaps in support options for young LGBT people in rural, regional and remote (RRR) Australia, there were many groups already active in supporting these young people. Outlink discovered that young LGBT people have a more complex relationship with rural, regional and remote (RRR) communities than is commonly recognised.

A decade after, original Outlink Committee of Management member, Daniel Witthaus, will repeat and expand upon the work of Rodney Croome. Daniel, a challenging homophobia educator born and raised in regional Australia, will undertake Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’ supported by Uniting Care – Cutting Edge (UCCE), a regional Victorian organisation headed by Rowena Allen, another original Outlink Committee member.'
