Canberra's same-sex community wears it with pride
It's huge. 85 Federal laws that discriminated against same-sex couples and their families have been reformed. These historic 85 reforms reward decades of protesting. To celebrate, 85 artists are designing 85 T-Shirts inspired by each reform. 85 influential Australians are wearing these T-shirts with pride, to spread the knowledge across the country.
Andrew Barr MLA launched the campaign at a community forum on the law reforms. Mr Barr and his partner Anthony have been chosen to wear one of the unique designer t-shirts, along with 7 other Canberra LGBT community members.
AIDS Action Council General Manager Andrew Burry says that the campaign will remind the community about the importance of same-sex law reform.

Remembering 25 years of the AIDS Action Council
We asked several people who have been involved in the AIDS Action Council at different times during its history, and asked them questions about their memories. The responses we got back are a fascinating insight into the story of this unique organisation...
Who pushes your buttons?
Are you attracted to people of the same sex? Aged between 14 and 21 years? Living in Australia? Interested in having a say about the issues affecting your life?
If you have sexual feelings for people of the same sex, whether or not you have ever acted on those feelings, we are interested in finding out about you, your family and friends, school, relationships, how people treat you, sexual health and the fun things about your life. The results of this research will be used to improve education and services and focus more attention on how to make Australia a more inclusive place regarding sexual diversity.
