The I Am Me Project is for you….
To give you the opportunity to tell us your story about you and your connection to the GLBTIQ community. You can tell us your story through words, pictures, painting, drawing, video clip, song, actually anything can be uploaded to the website.
If you are GLBTIQ, it can be your coming out story, a story about your sexuality, a story about your connection with friends or family members. If you are heterosexual, it can be about your connection to the GLBTIQ community, whether through a GLBTIQ family member, friend or just even your passion to be connected to the community.
The main focus is the connection and the expression. You can choose to remain anonymous or have your first name and age published with the story. All submissions will be uploaded to this website.

Biography
drummond street services is a quality service provider of child and family relationship counselling, groups for parents, children; and young people and education and training services for professionals and those working with families across a range of sectors.
Our major funder the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FAHCSIA) through the Family Relationship Services Program, allows us to deliver thousands of counselling and group work hours to families including individual adults, couples, children and young people. Each of these family members bring to our service a range of presenting issues and differing expectations but all share the common goal of wanting to resolve some relationship difficulty. In some cases this involves relationship work for couples wanting to improve or restore their relationships. For others this involves working through the difficult transition of separation and may or may not involve working with children and young people.
The complexity of this work requires a range of therapeutic techniques and approaches and especially the capacity to assess where individuals within a family “are at” as they negotiate different stages of the family life cycle. At times this requires us to assist partners through the separation grief and turmoil in order to reach a healthy position where they can recognise the impact on their children and to make appropriate parenting decisions. For each separating couple the time needed can be very different depending on the co-occurrence of other factors such as depression, drug and alcohol abuse, infidelity, family violence, and the level of supports available to the couple.
Over the years, our service has noted the changing nature of our client group and the issues that they bring that can impact on their relationships and the counselling work.

Biography
Equal Love is a nationwide campaign for marriage equality in Australia. We aim to put pressure on the government to legislate for equal marriage rights.
Equal love formed in 2004 when the Howard government changed the marriage act to purposefully discriminate against non heterosexual couples.
It has now been over eight years since the Australian government amended the Marriage Act to to state that marriage in an institution between a man and a woman to the exlclusion of all others. Eight years of state-sanctioned discrimination is eight years too many!
