Prepare to spill a laugh and maybe a tear as some of the Gold Coast’s finest LGBTQI+ storytellers reflect on their challenges, loves and lives in Queerstories. Curated by Maeve Marsden and hosted by Steven Oliver, the local edition of this national storytelling project will feature Ellen Van Neerven, Samuel Leighton-Dore, Tamara Natt, Pierce Eldridge and Nadine Chemali. The inspired venture encompasses an award-winning podcast, a book and live events around the country – with every event since its inception being sold out. Don’t miss your chance this November at BLEACH* Festival. This event will be Auslan interpreted.
