In order to highlight their specific and unique experiences, this project sought to draw together the responses from these LGBTQA+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Findings from these responses are presented in a series of factsheets.</p><p dir="ltr">This factsheet explores characteristics of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQA+ participants in <i>Writing Themselves In 4</i>, <i>Private Lives 3</i> and <i>Trans Pathways</i>.</p>
