Justice Michael Kirby Award

“Ours is the world of love, questing to find the common links that bind all people. participate because, whatever our sexuality, we believe that the days of exclusion are numbered. In our future world, everyone can find their place, where their human rights and human dignity will be upheld…. we are surely on the road to enlightenment. There will be no U-turns.”

— Justice Michael Kirby
