Heavy and locally intense rainfall is forecast from Wednesday, in combination with hazardous tidal and wind conditions into the weekend over Northern NSW and SE Qld. As such, we have made the decision to cancel Mark Swivels Conversation with Damian Kassabgi.

Thank you for your understanding, we hope you stay safe and dry.

Queer Culture Now

Wed 23rd April 2025, 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Drill Hall Theatre, Mullumbimby

What does it mean to be queer? How can ‘straight’ society support our diversity of queer people? How far have we moved from the early days of ‘Mardi Gras’ activism? What is the legacy of the ‘marriage equality’ plebiscite? Is there a clear way for communities and government to be better allies for queer folk and queer culture? How do we respond to the handling of the Census ‘debate’ on recognising queer identity?

Aiden Gentle will set out their perspective on these pressing issues, with a wealth of experience informed their philosophy and practice. Aiden Gentle (they/them) is a non-binary human who identifies with the terms Queer(sexuality and gender), and Transgender. They combine a lifetime of volunteerism with 24 years as a Social Worker. Aiden is the founder of Queer Family, a Mullum-based organisation that reduces social isolation and improves mental wellbeing through safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people and allies to practice creativity, connect, build, and strengthen community in the Northern Rivers. Queer Family has been supporting our community for the past 5 years, engaging an average of 2000 people annually, and has won several awards.
