December 8th, 2021Birds of a Feather

Having come to Australia over 40 years ago as a Vietnamese refugee, Hang Vo knows what it’s like to feel displaced and excluded.

As board chair of the Victorian Pride Centre, Australia’s first purpose-built hub for the LGBITQ+ community, this experience at a young age has driven Hang’s deep commitment to creating a more just, inclusive and fair society.
Hang, who is also CEO of Whitelion Youth, which provides mentoring, job training and other supports for at-risk young people, will be the guest speaker at the next Birds of a Feather lunch on Friday, December 17.
“Our first lunch last month was a great success with over 60 people attending,” says Belinda Brain, one of the organisers from Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health.
“Usually the lunches will be quarterly but as the first one was postponed by a couple of months we’ve ended up with two close together.”
The gathering at the Shamrock Hotel in Kyneton is an opportunity for adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex to connect. Meals and drinks are at bar prices. RSVPs are essential.
