What’s it like being queer in a job where public scrutiny is part of the daily grind? You’ll meet three politicians from across the political spectrum whose sexuality has shaped their values, but has also been used against them: Australia’s first openly gay Indigenous parliamentarian, NT Labor’s Chansey Paech; Liberal MP and former Human Rights Commissioner, Tim Wilson; and equality advocate and independent City of Sydney Councillor, Dr Kerryn Phelps.
Featuring
Dr Kerryn Phelps – she/her
Tim Wilson – he/him
Chansey Paech – he/him
