Overview
From the riots that inspired mardi gras, to homophobia in the 1980s, celebrities coming out in the 1990s and monumental stand-offs in the most powerful corridors of power just last decade, the 2017 vote for marriage equality in Australia is the story of a changing nation. From a place where being gay was still against the law, to one where everyone is now equal, this episode features perspectives from all sides of the Same Sex Marriage issue, and uses the window of popular culture to look at the key events and characters that tested our ‘fair go’ nation.
