Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities December 15, 2017 Duration: 54:57

Join us as we take a deep dive into marriage. We’re talking with Simon J Robinson – Melbourne Celebrant to unpack the process to get legally married. We chat to Tim Wilson – Federal Liberal Member for Goldstein to hear what this change in law means to him personally. And we hear some insights from Hayley Elliot-Ryan who has decided not to get married despite the change in law and lesbian couple Angie and Jac from the UK, share their experience having been married since the law changed in 2014.

The post The New Marriage Act appeared first on The Deep End.


Dive into The Deep End with the team from JOY 94.9, where conversations go beyond the surface of headlines and into the nuanced realities of rainbow communities. This isn't just a discussion about issues; it's an exploration of the lived experiences, cultural shifts, and personal stories that define the LGBTIQA+ landscape today. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with informed voices, offering clarity and depth on topics that matter most. You'll hear from advocates, artists, and everyday people, all contributing to a richer understanding of our collective society and culture. The podcast serves as an audio companion for anyone looking to listen more deeply, whether you're directly within these communities or standing in solidarity. By focusing on authentic dialogue, The Deep End creates a space for learning and connection, reflecting the full spectrum of identities under the rainbow. Tune in for content that challenges, celebrates, and complicates the narrative, always grounded in the heart of community radio. This is where the complex questions find a home, and where listening becomes an act of engagement.
