Great Debate for GRAI

The Great Gay & Lesbian Debate returns again for this year’s Pride Festival and, if last year’s event was anything to go by, promises another hilarious night of entertainment.

This year’s star studded line-up of debaters will feature Perth MLA John Hyde, Greens MLC Giz Watson, GLCS Chair Mark Woodman, former Pride patron Aram Hosie and former Pride Co-President Sue Fisher-Hendry, who last year stole the show wish a surprise musical performance. The debate will be hosted by RTRFM’s Danae Gibson and will be exploring the topic Straight is the New Gay.
