Queerstories

Hayley Katzen shares a vivid and colourful account of her experience of moving to a remote cattle farm in Northern NSW to live with her farmer girlfriend, Jen. Hayley is a writer who lives on a small cattle farm west of Lismore. Her play ‘Pressure Point' was performed at the Byron Community Theatre and her short stories and essays have won awards and been published in Australian and American journals and anthologies. The first publication she worked on was The Bride Wore Pink, a community discussion paper on the legal recognition of same sex relationships produced by the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby in 1992. Queerstories is an LGBTQI+ storytelling night programmed by Maeve Marsden, with regular events around Australia.
