Shout out to all the amazing staff at Qantas who worked so hard to get QF648 to Melb. Special mention to the bus lounge staff in Perth and Claire & her team on the flight. Also to the unseen flight engineers who worked to make the plane safe 👏👏👏

Thank for all the messages of support & love from friends, former #qldpol colleagues, people in #Gympie & the wider #LGBT community. Talking about #suicide and #mentalhealth is never easy but it is important & your words of encouragement make it easier to do so 💙 #loveislove

Back in 1986 there was a ban on homosexuals serving in the Australian Defence Force - which extended to bisexual men like myself so we remained in the closet. So it was an honour to be asked to speak today about vulnerable cohorts like the #LGBTI community in ageing 2/3

As always when I speak I like to share with the audience one key point. Today it was - Heterosexuals are not normal, they are just common With 11 - 15% of the population identifying as gender or sexually diverse we can all do our part to make people feel included 🏳‍🌈🦄 #LGBT

I know that the young man who yelled ‘faggot’ at me doesn't read my social media posts. But the reason #LGBTIQA+ Australians have up to fourteen times higher rates of suicide attempts is that this kind of bigotry is still happening today. medium.com/@davidgibson_8…

This is what high-functioning anxiety looks like... 🧠😨 Behind that confident facade lies a ongoing battle with self-doubt & overthinking. My #ASPG presentation on 'Queering Up the Debate - #FreeSpeech from an #LGBTI Lens' 🏳️‍🌈🔎 #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ImposterSyndrome #AusPol
