Hey anyone living in Queensland Australia the government's got a survey out asking LGBTQIA+ communities what things we think should be prioritised to strengthen outcomes for LGBTQIA+ people in Queensland.

It should be noted that just last week they passed the Births Deaths and Marriages Registration Bill that recognises same-sex and gender diverse parents on a child's birth certificate and repeals the requirement to undergo sexual reassignment surgery to change the gender on your birth certificate (+ lets you change your name and gender at the same time in a two for one deal) just last week (14/07/23) so there's a decent bet that they will actually listen to what you tell them.

Also apparently QLD is trying to pass new hate crime legislation too so this is pretty important.

The survey closes 5pm, 19 August 2023.
