A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGraham Willett; Angela Bailey; Timothy W. Jones; Sarah Rood
Melbourne: Australian Queer Archives and Heritage Victoria, 2021.“A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects was commissioned by Heritage Victoria to highlight the rich, diverse and unique history of queer communities in Victoria and to demonstrate how these communities are reflected in the places, objects and landscapes that surround us. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQ+) people are, and always have been, an integral part of Victorian social, political and cultural life. However, the experiences and voices of queer communities have not commonly been included in the historical record and, consequently, queer heritage has remained largely invisible. This report identifies 100 places, objects and collections that have specific and unique meaning to Victoria’s contemporary queer communities. Identifying and exploring the meaning of these places, objects and collections to members of the LGBTIQ+ communities who have suggested them adds depth and richness to Victoria’s history and heritage. It also makes visible the stories and experiences of communities that have, until recently, been ignored and at times actively persecuted.” (publisher’s blurb)

AU$25.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKathleen Mary Fallon
[Sydney]: Polar Bear Press, 2023.“This second publication in the Queensland School Reader series continues Fallon’s reconciliation dialogues telling intimate stories of her forty years as the lesbian foster mother of a Torres Strait Islander with disabilities. This was during the lesophobic decades when the boy would have been immediately removed from her care if the Authorities had discovered her lesbianism. Her stories are angry, tragic, darkly humorous, sometimes just plain snarky and gossipy. Ranging geographically from Brisbane to Sydney to London and ranging temporally over those forty year they are personally, politically, socially and culturally informative and candid snap shots of those times. There is an urgency about these stories and they need to be told.” (author’s blurb)
