Card-carrying Queenslanders
Queensland Association for Healthy Communities (QAHC) has released 鈥榩ledge cards鈥� in the lead-up to the Queensland election, calling on politicians to support LGBT equality.
QAHC will distribute the cards to LGBT people and their supporters across the state, encouraging them to give a card to every politician they see in the lead-up to the March 24 poll, which was announced by Premier Anna Bligh last week.
鈥淲e commonly receive feedback from politicians that no one ever raises LGBT issues with them,鈥� QAHC executive director Paul Martin said.
鈥淗anding politicians a 鈥楽peak Out for Equality鈥� card is a simple way for people to get LGBT issues on the agenda of candidates.鈥�
The cards can be picked up from QAHC鈥檚 Brisbane, Cairns or Maroochydore offices or by contacting [email protected] or by calling 07 3017 1777.
