When it comes to uncovering Australia's queer history, there's not a lot out there. What is preserved is often told through a colonial and heteronormative lens that sidelines queer, First Nations, and migrant voices. While more stories are finally being shared, many acts of resistance and resilience remain untold. Hosted by Farz Edraki and featuring a bold line-up of LGBTQ+ trailblazers, 'Queer Renegades' digs into some of Australia’s queer history - spotlighting the rebels, risk-takers, and rule-breakers who shaped the queer resistance and continue to change culture along the way.

The fight never ends
Queer history is full of hard-fought battles - from the decriminalisation of homosexuality to the fight for AIDS/HIV recognition and marriage equality. You’d think by now, the fighting would be over… right? But instead we're seeing backwards steps - especially for the trans community. Katie Green, CEO of the Inner City Legal Centre, and Carlie, from Parents for Trans Youth Equity, talk about the fight for trans rights today.

Sport is *so* gay
If you watch women’s sport - in particular football/soccer - you might think that sport is super gay. Sam Lewis, president of the Flying Bats Sydney football club, talks about how progressive women’s football has become these days. But as Ian Roberts explains, even though he came out in the 90s, men's sport continues to be filled with homophobia and fear.

Fighting for Space
Every queer person in the world can remember that time when they entered their first queer space - whether it be a cafe, a book shop, a club, a sauna, a footy field - and suddenly felt that weight lift off their shoulders. Their body relaxed. They stopped scanning the room cautiously. The true version of themselves suddenly had free reign. Straight people take that space for granted, but for the queer community, it’s always been a battle for space to call their own.
