Somewhere over the rainbow
So I am working hard on my Forest of Poly Ethylene but also working with Fiona Arnold again on the Yes Garden at Addison Road Community Centre.
In Australia we have yet to achieve marriage equality. It is a sad state of affairs. Conservative politicians have abrogated responsibility for representing the electorate and we are faced with the farce that is the non-binding Marriage Equality postal survey.
Many members of the LGBTQI community have expressed fear and anxiety as the public debate has given some homophobes a platform to express their bile.
And so, the Yes Garden is dedicated to creating a positive creative space to express support for the Yes vote in the upcoming Australian Marriage Equality survey.
The Yes Garden is evolving each week. It reflects the cultural diversity of the Addison Road Centre.
Last week we ran a workshop for people to make Yes signs. It was a pleasure to talk to families, couples, individuals and friends.
The Yes Garden will continue to grow over the next few months.
