It’s been called an assault on religious minorities, women and LGBT people. A worrying step back for democracy and human rights. And a crackdown on dissent. There are very few, if any, people speaking out in support of the Indonesia’s new criminal code. Yet it passed parliament with the support of almost all political parties.

It contains some direct threats to Indonesia’s LGBT community and also some potentially hidden ones. To guide us through the extensive changes and what they mean, in this podcast we are joined by Tim Lindsey – the Director of the Centre for Indonesian Law, Islam and Society at The University of Melbourne.

There has been an exodus from Russia. Many young men fled the country when conscription for the Ukraine war was announced. But even before that, the LGBT community was on the move fearing the outcomes of Russia’s expanded anti-LGBT propaganda laws. It effectively outlaws any public mention of same-sex relations.

Under the laws, individuals and organisations can receive significant fines for any promotion of “non-traditional sexual relations”. Groups like Coming Out SPB had to leave Russia and set up in friendlier European countries, still determined to continue their work. In this podcast we speak to the Executive Director in exile of Coming Out SPB, Aleksandr Voronov.

Transgender people in Scotland have campaigned for six years to be able to legally change their identity. But the excitement of the laws passing the Scottish parliament were quickly shattered when the English government signalled it would enact a rarely use law to block the change. Trans people are now at the heart of a constitutional fight in the UK.

Before the fight gets caught up in politics, we bring to you a personal view on the genuine outcomes that this law can deliver for Scotland’s Trans community. We are joined by Florence Oulds, the Trans Policy & Public Affairs Officer from Equality Network Scotland.

Stonewall is synonymous with queer history. In Australia, the Mardi Gras protest was a seminal point in our history. UK World War Two code-breaker Alan Turing became an LGBT icon after his death. AIDS and its impacts cannot be forgotten. With so many people keeping their sexuality in the past, queer history is only now beginning to be explored, captured and shared.

History is written by those who follow but it can have a powerful message about our future. One person that knows this better than most is the Founder of LGBTQ+ History Month USA – Rodney Wilson. Rodney has recently co-Founded the International Committee on LGBTQ+ History Months to grow and share our knowledge of our queer past.
