Books
The Other Side of the Blue
The Reach Out! Crew have got an amazing new book they want to tell you about. It’s called The Other Side of Blue and it’s a moving anthology of 20 Australian stories by writers who have faced and survived many daunting challenges such as sexual and physical abuse, family breakdowns, 'coming out', cancer, depression, drug addiction and death. Contributors include Jess Hardy from TV's Big Brother, Chris Cheney from rock group The Living End and former Olympian athlete Kyle van der Kuyp.
The Other Side of Blue offers hope to those in their early adult years who may be facing similar challenges and shows that there is a way through ... to the other side of blue.
Editor, Michale Colling, is kindly donating 10% of all sales from The Other Side of Blue to Reach Out! To find out more, have a look at their website, Finch Publishing.

Reach Out! is an initiative of the Inspire Foundation; we are a motley crew of people who are passionate about:
a) working with young people aged 16-25

c) using the internet to create opportunities for people to change their world

A huge rally for Queer Rights is happening this weekend in the city centre.
This is your chance to be part of a massive event in which the LGBTIQ community and our supporters will call on our government to end discrimination against queer people in this country.

- same-sex marriage and civil unions now! - Rudd remove all 102 pieces of legislation discriminating against queers! - an end to homophobia in schools!
Please forward this information to as many people as possible. Call friends and family to inform them. Nag your house mates. Tell strangers in the street. It is crucial to have as many people as possible attending so we can have our collective voices heard.
