As Helen Szoke finishes up as the head of the Victoria’s Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, she leaves us with some sage words on sexuality:

“Strides made to equality, but much is left undone”; The Age (Aug 4 2011)
This message is one that we must heed, otherwise we will increasingly realise the cost of ignoring it, measured in human suffering.
