The Australian Government is currently consolidating the five existing Commonwealth anti-discrimination acts into a single comprehensive law. Read our submission here and our supplementary submission here. For more information about the Bill click here.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby, and in acknowledgement of that milestone we would like to invite the community to become Silver Supporters of the GLRL!

The marriage bills were defeated this week. See how your MP voted , or click here for our media release.

The GLRL is proud to announce the launch of Stand UP! - our anti-discrimination workshops generously supported by a Commonwealth Attorney-General Human Rights Education Grant.

Our series of rolling, consultative workshops are aimed at uncovering and identifying the areas of life in which people experience discrimination and harassment. They will also provide information on your rights to enjoy a life free of discrimination, and skills on ways to combat and seek redress for harassment

As many of you know, marriage equality is a hot topic right now. There are not one but three bills currently under consideration in Parliament to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has herself said marriage equality is inevitable.

But it is only inevitable if we - gay, lesbian, and all others - keep pushing and applying the pressure, keep believing and most importantly, keep lobbying our politicians to support the cause.
