The Rudd Labour Government has announced that it will amend over 100 federal laws that discriminate against same-sex couples and their children. So what is there left to do now? A community forum in-the-round will discuss the future for queer activism in Queensland, Australia and beyond.

What are our priorities and what strategies should we use to pursue them? Transgender law reform, the age of consent, recognition of queer families, diversity education in schools, homophobic violence, workplace discrimination, queer cultural activism, mental health, linking across social movements, a queer take on climate change, how gay marriage can prevent terrorism...and what about international advocacy for countries where homosexuality is actively policed and severely punished?
