Top Ten Moments in the Queer History of Victoria

Event Concluded

Event Description

Victoria has a much queerer past than many people realise. It is a history that we rarely hear about at school – of pleasure and pain, cowardice and courage, secrecy and vibrant visibility.
Join us for a presentation by author, historian, and 'arch-tivist' Graham Willett, who will share stories and information about places and monuments in our state that hold cultural significance to the queer community.
