Rainbow Futures WA

In October 2022, RFWA ran a petition calling for major changes in government policies affecting LGBTIQA+ communities. We called for 1) a timely update to the Equal Opportunity Act in consultation with community, to ensure appropriate antidiscrimination protections for LGBTIQA+ people, 2) gender recognition and birth certificate reform, 3) banning conversion practices, 4) expanding surrogacy access to all people, 5) ending deferrable medical interventions on infants and kids with innate variations of sex charactistics without their personal informed consent, and 6) a whole of government approach. Three thousand people added their voice to our calls. The Legislative Council finalised its consideration of the petition in August 2023, with commitment to five of the six issues raised. There remains no commitment to ending deferrable medical interventions on people with innate variations of sex characteristics without personal informed consent.
