<font size="5" face="Verdana"><b>Please join us for the premiere of <i>Pride not Prejudice</i>– a short film documenting the fight for measures to protect the LGBTI community from discrimination in Victoria</b></font>
<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:_2_07FD143407FD11C80078ABA3CA257F3A" height="554" width="788">

</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Only 15 years ago in Victoria LGBTI people had no protections under law against discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender identity.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">It was clear the law needed to change to institute measures to combat homophobia, transphobia and social prejudice in the general community; and to promote and protect the human rights of people of all sexual orientations and
sex and/or gender identities.</font> </p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Due to the hard work and tireless advocacy of many individuals in the community, that change finally came in 2000 with the inclusion of two new attributes – sexual orientation and gender identity – to the Equal Opportunity Act.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><i>Pride not Prejudice: LGBTI and equal opportunity</i> features interviews with prominent members of Victoria’s LGBTI communities 15 years after the amendment came into effect, many of whom recount the struggle and remind us
all of the battles fought, the effect the law changes have made and the work still to be done.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The screening will be followed by a panel discussion introduced by Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commissioner Kate Jenkins and moderated by Aram Hosie, VEOHRC Policy and Projects Manager with:</font>
</p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2" face="Arial">Rowena Allen – Gender and Sexuality Commissioner</font>
</li><li><font size="2" face="Arial">Sally Goldner – Transgender Victoria</font> </li><li><font size="2" face="Arial">Sam Lior Lilit – Ygender</font> </li><li><font size="2" face="Arial">Janet Jukes – former co-convenor Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby</font></li></ul>
<font size="2" face="Arial"><i>Pride not Prejudice: LGBTI and equal opportunity </i>
was produced by the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, with assistance from RMIT’s Masters of Media students. It is the first in a series of short films that engages with the 2000 amendment to the Equal Opportunity Act that included protections
for the attributes of sexual orientation and gender identity. </font>
