Hey mates,
 

A fair bit has happened since the last time we "spoke". Umm, digitally engaged? Nope that sounds seedy. Since the last bloody email.
 

A bisexual former footy player has made AFL history, a local trans soccer player has won a vilification case, and America has descended further into an LGBTQ+ dystopian hellscape.
 

I mean, removing a rainbow crossing memorial for the LGBTQ+ victims of the Pulse nightclub mass shooting? This image of community members restoring it with chalk says so much.
 

And now, in the wake of another senseless and violent act, MAGA supporters rage over transgender people rather than gun laws. What is going on?
 

In her latest book, Australian human rights law professor Paula Gerber unpacks why trans people have become the target of so much hate and prejudice, and how we can change this.
 

When the world stops making sense, I look to amazing young people like 15-year-old Abbie who created the Rainbow Shoelace Project to tackle LGBTQ+ bullying in schools. You rock, Abbie.
 

Have a happy Bisexual Awareness Week folks and until we're next digitally engaged, take care.

When AFL player Mitch Brown came out as the first bisexual man in AFL history, he wasn't expecting the guilt that followed. While the 36-year-old has "no regrets", he admits he's disappointed by the lack of support from some within the AFL.
