Heart to Heart with Harley: A Message from Harley Quinn to Queer Geek Youth!

Here it is! Harley Quinn's contribution to 'We Got Your Back/It Gets Better'. ;) ;)

While I think it's a nice idea to make soothing noise about some vague, indeterminate time that 'it'll get better', I believe it's far more useful, affirmative and pro-active to provide practical information, advice and clear images of the powerful and strong community that exists out there for those who are not heterosexual or cissexual/cisgendered.
Community is the most important thing we have, and with this video I tried to show all the queer kids out there who live local to where I do (Sydney, NSW, Australia) where they can go to find that community, as well as referrals to support and information services. I thought a mini-tour of the hub of queer life in Sydney would give them a picture of the sort of place they can access. My urban family is vital to my livelihood and sense of happiness and security.

The fact is - it DOESN'T get better for everyone. BUT. You don't have to be alone. And with an urban family of your own, you can build the strength, self-confidence and emotional resources better able to deal with a still very queerphobic society, as well as have a refuge to turn to when things get rough.

And yes - the three friends I ran into are actual queer friends of mine and all of them recognised me instantly. Another friend, who was sitting on a pub balcony with his partner when Cody and I were tooling around, told me later his partner said 'there's someoe down there in full clown costume looking fabulous' and without even looking he said 'that's Elise!' hahaha. It's pretty much a guarantee I'll run into a friend or two everytime I go through Newtown - that's how tight-knit the community is. But it's always welcoming of newcomers! :)

Sorry the sound quality is a little dodge on the outdoors videos - I don't have fancy equipment so had to make do. And yeah, I know 'the voice' wavers a bit - my Aussie accents keep creeping through! - if I had more time and resources I woulda recorded everything over til it was perfect, but I don't right now! Hopefully it does the trick well enough! ;)
