This week we are talking about the famous protest created by LGBT+ activists in retaliation to the controversial change to the Australian Marriage Act in 2004. It is of course The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea.
In this episode of Let's Be Perfectly Queer we talk about the history behind the micro-nation and also discuss the infamous plebiscite that was held in Australia in 2017.
