RAINBOW REPORT FAREWELL EDITION
“Departure”, by Klearchos Kapoutsis Welcome to the very last Rainbow Report. Don’t worry, this is not going to be one of those self-indulgent, let’s look back etc etc shows: just the last helping of the sort of news and information that I hope has been interesting you for the last eight years....

Shelley Argent at Mardi Gras 2012: pic by Eva Rinaldi Photography This will be the penultimate Rainbow Report, counting down to the final show on October 3. Tonight, some bold new beginnings, and one sad goodbye. Shelley Argent has been leading the charge for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and...

Rainbow Report Looking to the Future
pic by nerdcoregirl Well now that we’ve all picked ourselves up off the canvas it’s time to put our shoulders to the wheel and leaving no cliché unturned accept with good grace that it’s no good crying over spilt milk, and march boldly into the future with heads held high. Or something like that....

Rainbow Report: Post Election – New Directions
Newtown Graffiti Well, it happened. Kevin Rudd is consigned to history, unless he’s going to sit on the back benches stirring a cauldron and muttering “three time is the charm”, in which case we’re all screwed. Meanwhile Tony Abbott is moving into Kirribilli. I’d check the curtain poles for raw...

Rainbow Report On More Election Issues We’re Not Talking About
This week I’m looking at MORE of those ‘should be an election issue but isn’t’ issues – this week, permissible discrimination, AIDS prevention, LGBTI age care, and gay refugees, as we head into the election and a new era in Australian politics. One of the big barriers to LGBTI equality is the...

Rainbow Report Election: Overlooked Issues plus Melbourne Ports Candidates
This week I’m looking at one of those ‘should be an issue but isn’t’ issues: gay conversion therapy – is it dead; the responses of the three major parties to other issues important to our community; plus we meet a couple of candidates from Melbourne Ports. Earlier in the year you may remember we...

Rainbow Report (partly) on Dunkley: A Coalition Marginal
The show was supposed to be all about the outer suburban electorate of Dunkley, which takes in the fleshpot of Frankston as well as more upmarket areas such as Mount Eliza and Mornington. It’s held by the Shadow Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson, who, like almost all other Liberal...

Rainbow Report on Gellibrand: Labor’s Safest Seat
pic by LockTheGate Next week we’ll be heading out to Dunkeley, one of the most marginal seats in this election, to talk to the candidates there. This week we’re looking at the safest Labor seat in the country, Nicola Roxons old home of Gellibrand. I’ll be chatting with the man who probably…

Rainbow Report on Random Election Issues
pic: Mel B Are you feeling this election is one big yawn. All this pompous talk about the most important election for a generation etc etc sending you to sleep? So far I haven’t heard anyone talking about the things I want dealt with. It’s a long list, but this week I’m going to look at four…

Rainbow Report on Putin’s Anti-Gay Pogrom
Russian MP Yelena Mizulina, author of the Russian law against ‘promotion of non-traditional sexual relations’ – and now she wants to take away our kids In case you hadn’t noticed – and it seems most people haven’t, or don’t care – Vladimir Putin’s Russian government has turned on its gay…

Rainbow Report on LGBTI Foreign Policy & Refugees
Broadmeadows detention centre : Takver Blink and you’d miss it – the mainstream media did – but this week Foreign Minister Bob Carr said that gay rights were a ‘core foreign policy issue’ for the government. We look at what he said and what it means with Corey Irlam. Bob Carr said one of the…

Rainbow Report on Body Image & Eating Disorders
Abs on show at Chicago Pride: pic by Nathan Mac The CEO of YMCA said “Today gay men are under enormous pressure about their bodies, and we believe that a lack of body diversity in the media, including the gay press, and a relentless focus which values people based on appearance, may in part…

Rainbow Report on Gay Parenting & Child Abuse
And first, a warning. Some listeners might find this topic confronting. If you are a survivor of sexual abuse, you may not want to read further, or listen to the show. Gay Parenting, and Child Abuse. Two things you never want to see coupled together. Just over a week ago, a terrible, almost...
-
Rainbow Report on Escape: Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Gayming
Kind of appropriate in a week when the actor who plays one of the most pansexual characters ever [John Barrowman: Captain Jack Harkness. Dr Who & Torchwood] took advantage of the US Supreme Court decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8, and married his...
-
Rainbow Report on Rice & Curry: Sexual Racism In The LGBTI World
You see it on Grindr profiles all the time: No rice, no curry. Is it sexual racism, or just sexual preference? Jesse Matheson was the man who caused a storm, writing in the Star Observer “I am a sexual racist.” He claimed that stating a racial preference on dating sites and apps was NOT racism....

Rainbow Report Asks: Who Needs Marriage?
Yup, you heard me. Why don’t we forget marriage – some things are more important. Or so lots of gay people think. Like the ongoing discrimination impacting our kids, leading to a huge rate of suicide and self-harm, as this report shows. And anyway, don’t we have enough rights and protections…

Rainbow Report on Last Chance LGBT Legislation
The government has two pieces of unfinished business for the LGBTI community, and with little time left before Parliament rises, it’s not certain they will make it to the statute book. The Sex Discrimination Act, which is being extended to cover LGBTI people for the first time has passed the…

RAINBOW REPORT ON HATE CRIME LAW
What exactly are hate crimes? Do we need special laws to deal with hate crime, and why? Surely the crime is the same regardless of the motive, so why should the penalty be different? New figures show hundreds of Victorians have been the target of racial, religious or sexual abuse, leading…

Rainbow Report on The New Politics
Politics used to be pretty simple: you decided which broadly-based party you could live with, and signed on for their whole suite of policies, including those you didn’t agree with. If you could be bothered, you worked from within to change the bits you didn’t like. Labor & the Coalition are…

A Smarter Rainbow Report
Tonight’s show is all about being smart. As we’ve said on this program several times: it’s smart to conserve our history, because in the past we’ve so often been written out. One of the most important parts of that history is the AIDS Memorial Quilt. James Rendell, Lord Abbott of the Sisters of...

Rainbow Report: God & Gays
My studio guests and I look at the painful and difficult issues that arise when, as a headline in The Age put it recently, “faith and sexuality collide.” A collision that, as you will hear, may have tragic consequences, as it did recently for one gay man, Damien Christie. So a warning, some of…
