Anthology of remarkable and rarely told stories of Queensland lives from queer writers spanning almost 80 years of rich and dynamic social histories that are as varied as the landscape itself. Queersland brings to light the struggle to survive in a culture that has barely tolerated difference and at times violently suppressed it. Funny, raw, heartbreaking and brave, the stories shine a light on our potential for sex and love beyond the normativities, and ultimately for our evolution to a more compassionate and generous way of being in our world.

    Rod Goodbun + Edwina Shaw: Meet the Editors
    May 27 2026

    Rod Goodbun and Edwina Shaw have known each other since the origin of the Pride March in Queensland in the early 90’s, and are still collaborating today. Edwina says there’s a reason why punk started in New York, London and Brisbane - the legacy of conservative leadership in Queensland pushed the alternative community to organise, and Rod talks about what it was like infiltrating a conversion therapy rally.
