[Edited extract from public address]

A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria with launch date coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in Victoria in 1981.

Commissioned by Heritage Victoria and prepared by the Australian Queer Archives (AQuA), this Report identifies 100 objects, places and collections of significance to Victoria’s LGBTIQ+ communities, bringing to life the experiences of queer and gender diverse people from the 1830s onwards across Melbourne and regional Victoria. 

During the community consultation process, over 150 people made submissions to this project.

At the launch, contributing authors will showcase the report and there will be a reflection on the significance of the 40th anniversary of Victoria’s decriminalisation of homosexuality.

Where: a Zoom Webinar and you will need to register in advance.
