This year marks the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in NSW, with the historic apology from Premier Chris Minns marking a new chapter for NSW's LGBTIQ+ community.

And while the state also banned conversion practices this year, we still need NSW to remove unfair laws that continue to disadvantage our community.

The Equality Bill is our chance to fix this and bring NSW in line with other states by:

• Removing cruel and unnecessary barriers to gender recognition;

• Protecting our community from unique forms of violence, including threats to 'out' a person's sexual orientation, gender history, HIV+ status or sex work;
  
  
• Allowing better recognition of rainbow families, and;
  
  
• Removing stigmatising language about HIV and AIDS from the law.
  

But it needs to become law before it can change lives. We need your help to make it happen as the bill is debated in NSW Parliament.

Will you take a minute to write to your NSW MP and demand they act for equality?
