LGBTIQ+ INCLUSION IN THE HISTORY OF THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE
Australian Defence Force policies banned lesbian, gay and bisexual people from serving until November 1992 and transgender people until September 2010. Yet, there is a long history of their service, as the Australian military evolved from an institution that actively persecuted LGBTIQ+ members to one that actively welcomes and values their contributions.
Join historian Noah Riseman - co-author of Pride in Defence (2020) and Serving in Silence? (2018) - as he provides an overview of Australian LGBTIQ+ military service, past and present.
