In this episode, we delve into the findings of the latest report, Rainbow Realities, which consolidates past research while shedding light on new insights into the experiences of the LGBTQA+ community in Australia regarding alcohol and drugs, family violence, sexual health, and more. Joining us is Natalie Amos, Research Fellow at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS), who will explore fresh analyses from surveys such as Private Lives, Writing Themselves In, and SWASH.
