	NICHE ‘YourStory’ Campaign

	Collected during Daniel Witthaus’ Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’ 266-day challenging homophobia tour of regional, rural and remote Australia, the stories are brought to life by maestro cartoonist, Kenton Penley Miller & award-winning filmmaker, Jonathan Duffy. Voice artist, Emma Gibbs, and production assistant, Christian Bürkle, rounded out the small yet committed team.

The hope is that this will inspire more LGBTI people from regional, rural and remote communities to share their stories online in either a visual, cartoon and/or animated way. The way the National Institute for Challenging Homophobia Education (NICHE) sees it, the more stories that are told of life for LGBTI people outside of metropolitan centres, the better.
NICHE’s motto is ‘TALK, SHARE, CHANGE’. Click the photos to view the stories.
