このコンテンツについて
Merle (she/her) is a 75-year-old activist, athlete, and proud lesbian living in Bendigo, Victoria.
In this episode, Merle shares her incredible journey of resilience, from leading strikes for equal pay in the late 1960s to competing in the Gay Games in Amsterdam and Sydney. Growing up in Echuca, she lived the life expected of her—marrying a man and raising children—before finally embracing her true self. Merle reflects on the challenges of coming out in a time when being openly gay was dangerous, the discrimination she faced in Melbourne’s lesbian scene, and her decades of advocacy for women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights. With a lifetime of stories, activism, and hard-won victories, Merle’s journey is a testament to the power of visibility and standing up for what’s right.
Trigger Warnings: Homophobia, discrimination, and discussions of past legal persecution of LGBTQIA+ people.
