Star Observer/By Matthew Wade — January 13, 2016

"WHEN Daniel Witthaus spent 266 days driving around Australia to rural and remote communities listening to the stories of LGBTI people, there was one sentiment that kept being brought to his attention.

"People across the country said that sharing and hearing LGBTI stories – not necessarily the ones we hear in the media – are what make the difference," he told the Star Observer.

"When people think about challenging homophobia and transphobia they think they have to do something extraordinary."
