Kirby, who was appointed to the Court in 1996, told a group of Sydney law students on August 23rd that Australia's jurisprudence was lagging behind the rest of the world in its failure to see domestic law in the context of international law. In a speech to queer activists just days before that, Kirby was critical of the homophobic religious right, but also chastised LGBT organizations for not cultivating stronger political ties and media presence. That all-important visibility was also on the judge's mind when he spoke at a BRISBANE Pride forum called "A Celebration of Achievements." Publicly gay since 1999, Justice Kirby was emphatic about the role of visibility in combating bigotry, but compassionate about the personal nature of each individual act of coming out (recorded by "This Way Out" correspondent JOHN FRAME). . . . . . . . 8:20 SEGMENT #3- "TWO" I.D. by openly-gay actor and author B.D.
