Saturday 27th Sept, 2025: Will Sergeant OAM – South Australian Queer Activist and Historian, 50 YEARS of Legal Homosexuality, South Australia
Macca and the gang talk to Will Sergeant OAM – South Australian Queer Activist and Historian, 50 YEARS of Legal Homosexuality, South Australia
Will Sergeant OAM considers his visibility as an out and proud gay man for over 50 years to be his greatest achievement.
“Since the heady days of 1970s gay liberation, I’ve believed in the importance of visibility and affirmation. I have striven to live the mantras ‘Come Out. The Personal is Political’, both as myself and as my alter-ego Dr Gertrude Glossip.”
“For over a quarter of a century our history walks have informed a broad audience about Adelaide’s queer history. It has been satisfying to publish these walks as a book.”
“Being a member of a minority group brings with it the responsibility of engagement and activism. I delight in educating an audience in an entertaining way.”
Mr Sergeant is so pleased that his work as a queer activist and historian is considered important and warrants the award of a Medal of the Order of Australia.
He thanks Tim Reeves, the late John Lee and the late Ian Purcell AM – fellow activists and historians; Sisters Anni, Susie and the late Jan, and long-time friend John Pumpa – all long-time supporters.
Will can talk to you about the recent 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in SA
