True North Eager Beaver Interview Project -- Human Rights Activist Murray Billett

[Recording date: September 15, 2022]The Eager Beaver Pod asks its guests if they're willing to provide an extended interview, so that we may better get to know them/what makes them tick.When they agree, we package it together and present it to you as part of this series.This week's guest, is noted human rights activist Murray Billett.Join us for a fascinating chat about the evolution of 2SLGBTQ+ rights over the decades, policing, mental health, and the story of the Delwin Vriend court case which enshrined into law an end to legal discrimination on the basis sexual orientation in Canada, as we approach its 25th anniversary, from the perspective of someone who was involved in the 7-year-long struggle.This is episode 24 of the TNEB Interview Project.________________Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something.Because we believe that Democracy Is Something You Do...Equality for 2SLGBTQ+ people has not come at an equally rapid pace for everyone around the world, so if you wish to act globally as well as locally, please consider making a donation to the Rainbow Railroad, a Canadian organization that helps bring persecuted members of the global Rainbow Commumity to safety, here in Canada.________________Of course, retweets, shares, gentle corrections, constructive criticism, compliments, tips, requests, bribes to be on the show, and positive reviews (if you think we deserve some stars, please rate us) are always welcome.You can do that via our show’s Facebook blog page, via Twitter @TrueEager, or by e-mail at [email protected] if you really enjoy our podcast, why not subscribe via our Podpage [https://www.podpage.com/the-true-north-eager-beaver/], and tell a friend?Until next time, be kind to, and gentle with, yourselves,Your Eager Beaver__________________Thank you to our podcast’s founding sponsors:* The Peppermaster* The Miss Vee Mysteries from Corvid Moon Publishing* Canadian Tarot Dot ComArtwork credit: Peter Jarvis Learn more about your ad choices.
