Peter de Waal arrived in Australia in 1957 from the Netherlands as a young man uncertain about his sexuality. Within ten years he had found his life partner Peter Bonsall Boone known as Bon and together they joined the first gay activist movement CAMP and remained campaigners for a better life for the gay community for the rest of their lives. From appearing on television for the first male to male kiss, attending the first mardi gras, they even campaigned for marriage equality. Sadly Bon died before they could marry.
Guest: Peter de Waal, author of his memoir It Wasn't Dutch Courage. You can order a copy of his book from Australian Books Online.
