One reason why we welcome spring with open arms is surely because the sun’s return heralds a season of growth and thriving.

Survival in adversity is about doing what we have to in order to stay alive – In winter we need burning fires, warm clothes and hearty meals.
• In stressful workplaces we need role clarity and boundaries.
• In violent relationships, we need to hold our tongues and keep away.
Liverpool Street, HOBART - 5pm
It reminds us that we humans have a long history of reinventing ourselves, despite adversity that befalls us. PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY
• With illness we need to mitigate risk to avoid worsening conditions.
That’s in order to survive.
The growth that comes with spring reminds us that we are meant to thrive. Yet, thriving doesn’t happen in isolation – it requires, community, connection and support, in the same way that a seed needs soil, sun and rain.

The power of quilting
DECEMBER 1ST IS WORLD AIDS DAY, WHICH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE WORLDWIDE TO UNITE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HIV, TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV, AND TO COMMEMORATE THOSE WHO HAVE DIED FROM AN AIDS-RELATED ILLNESS.
Since the dawn of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the road to recognition and support has been hard fought and has come in various forms of activism. When we think about support and activism, food drops, protests and ‘sit ins’ are some of the first that come to mind. Yet one of the most powerful and moving displays of HIV/AIDS activism has come in the form of handmade quilts.
Originally identified as a “gay disease” because gay men were one of the primary groups afflicted, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) targets the immune system and weakens people’s defence against infections. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which develops over many years if not treated, depending on the individual.
When the HIV/AIDS crisis began in 1981, chaos and fear ripped through the fabric of the western world. Gay men, people who inject drugs, immigrants and racial minorities, were largely blamed for the epidemic. In the early days, particularly in the United States, government organisations were simply not interested in researching the disease or caring for the infected. It really was an awful time. Hospitals, doctors, schools, and families rejected the infected. People were driven out of their homes and excluded from society. Although the gay, lesbian and transgender communities created dynamic networks of self-help groups in response to the crisis, yet scores of people died impoverished and alone.
Among the projects of activism that prevailed in the 1980’s, was the AIDS Memorial quilt project. The idea was conceived in San Francisco in 1985, by AIDS activist Cleve Jones. At that time many people who died of AIDS-related causes did not receive funerals,
due to both the social stigma of AIDS felt by surviving family members and the outright refusal by many funeral homes and cemeteries to handle the deceased’s remains. Lacking a memorial service or grave site, the quilt was often the only opportunity survivors had to remember and celebrate their loved ones’ lives. On 11th October 1987, activists gathered 1,920 individual quilt panels, each roughly the size of the average grave and inscribed with the name of a person lost to AIDS, and laid them before the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The goal of the AIDS memorial quilt project was to bring awareness to how massive the AIDS pandemic really was, and to bring support and healing to those affected by it.
The overwhelming response to the quilt’s inaugural display led to a four-month, 20city, national tour of the quilt in the spring and summer of 1988. The tour raised nearly $500,000 for hundreds of AIDS service organizations. More than 9,000 volunteers across the US helped display the quilt. Local panels were added in each city, tripling the quilt’s size to more than 6,000 panels by the end of the tour. To this day the AIDS memorial quilt is an epic 54-ton tapestry that includes nearly 50,000 panels dedicated to more than 105,000 individuals. It is the symbol of the AIDS pandemic, a living memorial to a generation lost to AIDS and an important HIV prevention education tool.
With hundreds of thousands of people contributing their talents to making the memorial panels, and tens of thousands of volunteers to help display it, the quilt is considered the largest community arts project in history.

Change for the better
INNOVATIVE NEW NATIONAL PROGRAM KEEPING MEN ENGAGED IN CHANGING THEIR BEHAVIOUR
Men who want to change their abusive behaviour can sometimes face delays when accessing support through national family violence programs.
Now, men can now call the Brief Intervention Service on 1300 766 491. The service is free, short term, multi-sessional, and provides support from qualified counsellors.
The Brief Intervention Service is facilitated by the Men’s Referral Service, a national men’s family violence telephone counselling, information and referral service operated by No to Violence. It is the central point of contact for men taking responsibility for their behaviour.
The Brief Intervention Service is not meant as a replacement for behaviour change programs or groups.
Instead, the service engages men who are experiencing delays in accessing immediate family violence support, by providing short-term interim support.
The delays happen due to COVID-19 restrictions or waiting lists for family violence support.
The Brief Intervention Service also focuses on supporting men who live in remote or regional areas, men who have barriers to attending group programs and men who are from a non-English speaking background.
Men in Tasmania who wish to access the Brief Intervention Service can call the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491 for an initial assessment or can be referred by other services.

Partner Violence
YOU NEVER THOUGHT IT’D HAPPEN TO YOU, AND IT’S A BIT TRICKY TO WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND. YOU FIND YOUR PARTNER ACTING UNUSUALLY TOWARDS YOU. YOU DON’T KNOW WHY. THEY LOVE YOU, RIGHT? WHY ARE THEY STONEWALLING YOU.
Checking up on you all the time. Making subtle - or not so subtle - threats. Giving orders or making all the decisions. It’s confusing. But it must be ok, because you love each other, and you’ve worked hard to get where you are. So best to just let it be.
LGBTIQ folks experience intimate partner violence at similar rates to those who identify as heterosexual. It’s just that we don’t talk about it as much.
Some experiences of intimate partner violence in LGBTIQ relationships include:
• threatening to ‘out’ you to others
• telling you that no one will help because the police and the justice system are homophobic
• saying you ‘deserve it’ because you identify as LGBTIQ
• saying their behaviour is not domestic violence, but an expression of masculinity
• pushing your boundaries in the bedroom or with other partners
• trying to convince you that the behaviours are mutual or consensual acts
If you need help, keep these things in mind:
• you are not alone and you can get help
• your partner can get help too
• you don’t have to leave or break up unless you want to (often folks just want the behaviour to stop)
• share what’s happening with a trusted person, friend or professional, and get their perspective
• expand your support network – it’s critical to stay connected to others
• you deserve to be treated with respect and equality
• find ways to reconnect to yourself, work on your own self-esteem and keep engaged in activities you enjoy as much as possible
• try writing your thoughts or feelings down or expressing them in some way especially if talking directly to your partner isn’t safe or possible - sometimes the act of getting it all out can help you see things more clearly and to feel lighter e.g. writing a letter, doing some art or movement, or perhaps a vogue dance workshop
As part of the queer community, it’s important we support each other and stand up against intimate partner violence in our relationships.
If this is happening to someone you know, then you should acknowledge your role as a bystander and the difference you can make. Listen without judgement. Validate their concerns. Show empathy. Ask what they need. Believe them and walk alongside them.

Introducing This Way//That Way Radio @crocodilecowboy
A YOUTH-LED COMMUNITY RADIO SHOW ABOUT SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RELATIONSHIPS AND CULTURE.
When Susannah and Jane arrive at Nigel Mallett house for our This Way//That Way Radio meeting, I’m already sitting in the meeting room with Frankie and Corey. We’re listening to ‘The Shit’, a piece about poo and sex by USA-based queer audio art project, The Heart. Frankie had arrived earlier that morning to catch-up about his idea for a prerecorded audio series about support for trans and gender diverse people in Hobart. It would be an audio resource containing information about medical and legal pathways interspersed with personal stories and local personalities. It’s the kind of information Frankie wished he’d had access to, but instead had to seek out from peers (once he found those, too).
Our meeting is full of ideas for making radio content. We dream up a series of snappy pieces covering the basics of sexual and reproductive health; 2-3 minutes about condoms, STIs, termination of pregnancy, HIV and bloodborne viruses and more. Susannah chimes in with, “Real mates don’t let mates get STIs.” Everyone laughs.
Later that day I meet Jane at UTAS Sandy Bay campus. Tucked away in the Arts Building lives Edge Radio, a youth community radio station. The studio is small and dark with enough room to fit a couple of desks, computer screens and 3x microphones plugged into a vintage audio desk. It’s a modest audio set-up for a host and a couple of guests. Jane and I co-host our show, programming local and interstate female and gender diverse artists and casually chatting about initiatives to support LGBTIQ+ young people. The hour flies by.
I started This Way//That Way Radio as part of my work at The Link Youth Health Service to create sexual and reproductive health resources with and for young people. This kind of collaborative health promotion work is called co-design and is based on the idea that health resources and other activities are more impactful when they’re developed and delivered in collaboration with the people who they are for.
With support from TasCAHRD, five young volunteers and myself completed radio training with Edge Radio and have been gradually working towards building everyone’s confidence in running the studio and producing an exciting show.
Claire
This Way//That Way Radio is now based at TasCAHRD and is open to anyone aged 25 and under to get involved. Maybe you or someone you know would like to become part of the team!
We meet monthly, and there are additional opportunities to come on the weekly show at the Edge Radio studio or participate in pre-recording audio content in the podcast studio at TasCAHRD. If you have a passion for radio and sexual health, you can contact TasCAHRD at projects@tascahrd. org.au. You can also follow us on Instagram @thiswaythatway_hobart.
Frankie (he/they)
“I first joined This Way//That Way Editorial Collective around 2020 after seeing a project made by the group shown at The Loop. After learning a bit more about the project I was keen to get involved, went along to one of the meetings and have been involved since. This Way// That Way has evolved, and will no doubt continue to evolve and be shaped by the participants and the ideas they bring to the table. I’m super excited.”
Susannah (she/her)
“I’ve been with This Way//That Way since July 2020. I joined so I could help spread awareness about sexual health and relationships as this is something I wish I knew when I was growing up.”
Corey (he/him)
“I have been working on This Way//That War project for about 12 months now – almost from the start. I joined the project as I am passionate about positive health education, specifically regarding mental and sexual health. I moved to the Hobart areas about 4 years ago and it was the best choice I ever made – moving my smalltown-gay-ass to the big city has been a blast!”
Jane (she/her)
“I live in Hobart and have been involved in This Way//That War since March. I got involved in this because I think there should be sexual health resources for young people by young people, and to help destigmatise sex.”

Inclusion starts with education and learning
WHETHER WE EDUCATE OURSELVES THROUGH INFORMAL PATHWAYS SUCH AS CONVERSATIONS, VARIOUS FORMS OF MEDIA, OR A GOOD OLD TRIP TO THE LIBRARY, OR SEEK OUT MORE FORMAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, EDUCATION IS GENERALLY AGREED TO BE THE KEY TO INCLUSION.
Inclusion is more than acceptance, and certainly more than tolerance, which are often terms used to indicate what a progressive and modern society we are. You ‘tolerate’ a fly – it’s there, you know it’s there, you’d probably rather it wasn’t there but you’re not going to take any action to remove it. Acceptance is little more, implying there is something to accept, and that there is a power difference between the person being accepted and the person offering acceptance.
True inclusion is much more. It’s actively seeking a deeper knowledge of the historical and contemporary experiences of the people and communities concerned. It’s having an empathetic understanding and applying that to allyship through support, admiration, appreciation and celebration of people and communities. It’s being active advocates for people’s rights, for safe access to appropriate services, for the value of diversity, and for the celebration of culture.
For LGBTIQ+ people and communities, inclusion can be as serious as life or death. Statistics around LGBTIQ+ people thinking about or attempting suicide remain unacceptably high, along with poorer mental health outcomes. Even in terms of physical health, it’s not uncommon to hear stories of people not seeking medical help due to fears of judgement, misgendering, mistreatment and poor service in general. In fact, across most measures of wellbeing and life satisfaction, research continues to indicate poorer outcomes for LGBTIQ+ communities.
If you find that alarming and want to know how we change it, the simple answer is: education. Education gives us a better understanding of the stories behind those statistics. We are at a point in history where LGBTIQ+ people’s stories and lived experiences are being toldthrough books, film, TV, radio, podcasts – both real life, and more accurate representations through fiction.
We also have more access than ever to formal training. Working It Out, Tasmania’s gender, sexuality and intersex status support and education service, provides a whole suit of training packages in different formats and targeting different sectors, for a range of affordable fees or even at no cost.
Go to the Working It Out Website to find out more about:
• 2 and 3 hour generalised LGBTIQ+ inclusion packages, available to be booked in-house for delivery in-person state wide, or live online;
• public sessions available both in person (in Hobart only so far) or online;
• the Silver Rainbow program offers education and consultation services for the ageing and aged care sector via funding from the Federal Department of Health;
• the Valuing Diversity Framework offers education and support to schools across Tasmania via funding from the Tasmanian Department of Education;
• WIO designed programs targeting the midwifery, disability and sport sectors; and
• the HOW2 Program, which is a series of 4 full-day sessions supporting organisations to work towards sustainable, service-wide inclusion, and potentially the Rainbow Tick - a QIP accreditation for LGBTIQ+ inclusion.
To start your own or your organisation or business’s LGBTIQ+ learning for inclusion contact Liv, WIO’s Manager of Learning and Aged Care Programs, for more information or to make a booking.

WITH WORLD AIDS DAY ON DECEMBER 1ST, MORE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIV AND BLOOD BORNE VIRUSES. THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE PIVOTAL TO DECREASING STIGMA AND SPREADING AWARENESS.
Recently voices like Trinity K. Boney on RuPaul’s Drag Race spoke openly about her HIV status, using her platform to educate people on the reality that ‘Undetectable = Untransmittable’.
Voices like hers reaching mainstream audiences highlight another important aspect of reducing stigma - society is impacted by what is shown on media and what enters the cultural psyche through popular culture and celebrities. Some people today might only be able to think of Queen front-runner Freddie Mercury when you ask them about AIDS. Here are some books and movies that feature HIV, which can be a source of discussion about how the landscape has changed in the past forty years and how HIV can be a point of reference to many intersectional issues.
1. Philadelphia
A 1993 starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, it follows a man dying from AIDS as he fights for his rights in court after being fired.
2. Push / Precious
A 1996 novel and later 2009 film by the name Precious, this story follows a young girl from an abusive home environment and is given the chance to find passion in education.
3. Angels in America
Originally a 1991 play and later adapted into a 2003 miniseries, this story depicts a symbolic examination of HIV and homosexuality in America in the 1980s.
4. An Early Frost
A 1985 television drama that was the first of its kind to depict a gay man living with HIV to American audiences.
5. Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
A 2013 young adult novel, inspired by true events, it follows two boys wanting to break the Guinness World Record by kissing for 32 hours.
6. Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave
A 2009 novel that follows a a young gay couple in the seventies and eighties that weathers disapproval,separation and the HIV epicdemic in Australia.
7. Like A Love Story by
Abdi Nazemian
A 2019 novel set in 1989 New York as three teenagers are affected by the AIDS crisis in different ways together.
8. April Fool’s Day by Bryce Courtney
A 1998 memoir that follows the author’s son who was born a hemophiliac and contracts HIV through a blood transfusion.
9. The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst
A 2004 novel that is set in three time periods, 1983, 1986, and 1987 as it follows Nick Guest a gay man in Britain during the emerging AIDS crisis.
10. Positively by Courtney Sheinmel
A 2009 novel about a thirteen year old girl who was diagnosed with HIV, it follows her experiences with isolation after her mother’s passing.
11. Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
A 2018 musical biography film on Freddie Mercury and all the band members from Queen up until his death in 1991.
12. And the Band Played On
Originally a 1987 book by journalist, Randy Shilts, it was later adapted into a movie featuring Sir Ian McKellen in 1993. It chronicles the emergence of HIV in an extensive investigation that details the impacts on the gay, medical, and political communities.
13. Howard
A 2017 documentary about Howard Ashman, the man behind the lyrics of Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. This movie shows his success and how it was impacted by HIV.
