Author: Will Thorpe

The book is a clear example of religion operating to the detriment of queer and young people, emblematic of a rotten religious education system. Amazingly, it has remained in use despite a 2015 ban by the NSW Department of Education.

Despite popular revivals in the 80s and 90s, rock today lives largely away from the mainstream. It exists mostly in pubs and bars, and that’s okay — it needn’t be widely commercially successful to be good or to have a point. Wherever it goes, its rebellious aura will live on.
