/news/78ers-lgbtiq-hate-crimes-report-nsw-apology/233039 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 02:55:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 /news/78ers-lgbtiq-hate-crimes-report-nsw-apology/233039#comment-658854 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 02:55:50 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=233039#comment-658854 I am giving this statement a “conceded pass”. It does not mention which particular 78er did the original research on these NSW killings. And there is internal inaccuracy. There was no focus on “misogyny” in either the Sackar or Wood reports. Moreover, these two inquiries were also radically different in relation to homophobia and transphobia; The Wood report was obsessed with paedophilia and it generally conflated that with the activity of gay men. It trivialised evidence of serious homophobia and it ignored the implications of serious episodes of police and security violence. Its operation set off widespread alarm in the GLBT community and that was the context of a 600+ person 1990s Oxford Street meeting (Koala Inn) seeking to respond to it.
