This is a great chat with Daniel Witthaus, CEO of Australia's newest charity, the National Institute for Challenging Homophobia Education (NICHE).

Daniel Witthaus has spent the past two decades challenging homophobia one cuppa at a time in schools, rural communities and, occasionally, developing countries like Sri Lanka, Poland and Indonesia. He is the author of Beyond Priscilla: one gay man, one gay truck, one big idea... (2014), Beyond 'That's So Gay!': Challenging homophobia in Australian schools (2010) and the Pride & Prejudice educational package (2002, 2012) - which won three Tasmanian schools Human Rights Week awards.
