BURNIE VENUE CHANGED to Burnie Library – Platypus Room

You are invited to join us for our Seniors Month screenings of "Jimpa", a film based on the family of acclaimed Australian filmmaker Sophie Hyde. ​

​Funny, accessible, full of sadness and joy, and with a wonderful multi-generational cast, Jimpa is a celebration of LGBTIQA+ culture, exploring the family we’re born into and the family we create. ​

​The film is authentic and intimate, bursting with compassion for each of its characters, with representations of identity and family not always seen on the big screen, starring favourites Olivia Colman and John Lithgow, with newcomer Aud Mason-Hyde. ​

​Following the film, we will be joined by a panel of lived-experience guest speakers reflecting on the themes in the film.​

​Together, we’ll listen to and share stories, build connections and deepen understanding across our communities. All LGBTIQA+ community members, their family and friends, allies, champions and those wanting to learn more are welcome.​

​Bookings are essential and tickets are $5, with flexible pricing to allow community members to attend free-of-charge through our pay-it-forward option. ​

Wednesday 21 October 6pm – [change of location to] Burnie Library – Platypus Room​

Let us be who we are and End Conversion Practices in Tasmania!

Sunshine on the steps of Parliament House Tasmania as we gathered to call for a ban on conversion practices. Thank you to everyone who came along.

We were grateful to be joined by Rosalie Woodruff MP for Franklin, thank you for standing with LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians.

The e-petition to end conversion practices closes Monday 26 October.

Tell Parliament that LGBTIQA+ people are not "broken" and do not need to be "healed" - https://haepetitions.parliament.tas.gov.au/haepet/Home/PetitionDetails/156

Check the facts: Don't be fooled by misinformation. Hear directly from survivors and experts in our video testimonies: https://equalitytasmania.org.au/home/endconversion/

More than 50 Tasmanian health professionals have signed a statement addressed to MPs urging them to vote for the conversion practices prohibition bill.

Among other points they say

- conversion practices cause deep harm and discredit legitimate health care
- it’s not possible to give informed consent to conversion practices
- legislation won’t change the treatment of young people with gender issues
- there have been no problems for health practitioners interstate and there won’t be in Tasmania either

This shows strong support for banning conversion in Tasmania’s medical community.

Can you spare a moment of your time to help LGBTQIA+ Tasmanians?

LGBTIQA+ humans in Tasmania need your help with something really important, something which causes significant harm to those who are tortured, humiliated, and shamed by it, just for being themselves.

You can help prevent future LGBTIQA+ Tasmanians from a lifetime of trauma, self harm, and shame by giving a few moments of your time.

Here’s some practical ways you can help our friends at Equality Tasmania save lives by compelling the State Government to put an end to harmful conversion practices in Tasmania.

TIME ACTION

10 SECONDS - like and share this post

1 MINUTE - Sign the Parliamentary e-survey https://haepetitions.parliament.tas.gov.au/haepet/Home/PetitionDetails/156

10 MINUTES- Email your local Tasmanian State Government Minister and tell them why you support the ban on conversion practices and why. Equality Tasmania have created an easy online form to use. https://equalitytasmania.org.au/end-conversion/

30 MINUTES (plus travel) - Come down to the Parliament Lawns Hobart at 2pm on Sunday for a group photo of our Tassie LGBTQIA+ community supporting the bill to put an end to the harms caused by conversion practices.

While you’re scrolling: head to Equality Tasmania’s socials, make sure you’re following them, check out their posts, like the ones about banning conversion therapy.

When you’re with friends: encourage them to find out more about the harms of treating LGBTIQA+ humans as if they are broken (not heterosexual / cisgendered), and must be fixed (converted to heterosexual.)

Ask your friends and family to help send the message to State Government politicians that these practices don’t work, are harmful, damaging and dangerous. Every survey response matters.

If this raises anything for you, QLife is on 1800 184 527 and Lifeline on 13 11 14.
