About Peter Tatchell
Now living in London, Peter was born in Australia and has campaigned for human rights since 1969. He is a high-profile lecturer, author, journalist and activist on a wide range of issues. Although he has focused primarily on campaigning for gay emancipation, Peter believes human rights are universal and indivisible, and he has been involved in campaigns opposing capital punishment, apartheid, nuclear weapons and Britain’s war in Ireland and the US wars in Vietnam and Iraq.
For several years, Peter has spoken in support of animal issues and has highlighted comparisons between human and animal rights. Thought-provoking and unafraid to ask awkward questions, he is the author of six books and over 3,000 published articles. In recognition of his work, Peter was nominated for the 1992 Martin Ennals Civil Liberties Award.
A new Netflix documentary, 'Hating Peter Tatchell' chronicles Peter's life and campaigning.
