PFLAG Brisbane 2020 Summit

Thursday, June 26, 2008

I had the privilege of attending the PFLAG Brisbane 2020 summit on Saturday, which as part of Brisbane Pride discussed topics challenging the LGBT community, such as youth homelessness, suicide, increased rate of HIV infections, health and support for women, and alcohol and drug use.

I will post the outcome of the summit when it comes to hand, but in the meantime, here are some happysnaps taken by Sue Kentlyn:

Meta’s Surrogacy Policy Dilemma: Lessons from Facebook’s Review

A few years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams interviewed me, as Facebook was looking at what position it should take about commercial #surrogacy. Facebook was concerned about the possibility of exploitation. Two great difficulties I pointed out were: What is commercial #surrogacy?
