Dane Giraud: The tightrope of protest

A few years back I sat down with Bill Logan, a Wellington activist and famous Trotskyite who was one of the central strategists of the campaign for Homosexual Law reform as part of a research job I had for a potential documentary on the law change. A major revelation for an outsider to the gay community was that to call it a community at all was quite a stretch: just ask Lesbians of the era, and Lesbians today, for that matter. But all the factions did seem to come together when it counted and helped get the transformative law change over the line.
