Welcome back to Queer Tasmania, a new LGBTIQA+ podcast from North West Pride (producers of Queer Life Stories).

Rodney Croome is a name many of you will know; he has been a part of legislative changes for LGBTIQA+ protections in Tasmania, and the country for decades. From fighting for decriminalisation of homosexual acts in Tasmania, to the national campaign for Marriage Equality – just as examples of some of the work Rodney has been involved in.

Queer Tasmania was fortunate to sit down with Rodney and talk about some of the stories of the past as well as discuss what he and Equality Tasmania are working on currently and where the community can support some of these challenges. We’re calling this conversation, the Queer State of the State….

Welcome back to Queer Tasmania, a new LGBTIQA+ podcast from North West Pride (producers of Queer Life Stories).

Coming to Launceston later this month is a production by Three River Theatre titled "The Laramie Project" - an impactful true story of a town struggling to understand the impacts of the horrific hate motivated murder of 21 year old Matthew Shepard. This is a verbatim play, meaning the dialogue performed are the actual words of the people of the town of Laramie. I had the opportunity to sit down with this production's director, Rae Smith, cast member Jaz Daniells and vocal coach Travis Hennessy to talk about The Laramie Project and the ongoing importance and relevance of this piece of theatre.
