“Same Same But Different” Navigating Sexuality, Gender, Culture, and Religion

We would like to invite you and members of your group to attend a VAC Community Forum exploring cultural diversity in Melbourne’s GLBTIQ community. “Same Same But Different” aims to explore the navigation of sexuality, gender, culture and religion as experienced by members of the community. Moderated by Dr Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli, the forum will provide us with a space where we can listen to others’ stories, share our personal experiences, and explore ways to create an inclusive space for CALD GLBTIQs.
