How far back in time can you find queer stories? Jacobin Bosman, PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, takes us through some of the early gay and lesbian stories from colonial Australia. While Ben Graetz and Jedda Ruby Riley discuss the impacts of colonisation on queer First Nations people and the erasure of their stories in Australia.


In many ancient cultures, there were queer people, there were gender diverse people.
Jedda Ruby Riley
Who they bend the rules for tells us a great deal about how sexual and gender systems actually operate in the real world from the position of power, but also from the position of people who are experiencing marginalisation.
