Michael Kirby is a highly respected Australian jurist, serving as a Justice of the High Court of Australia from 1996 to 2009, and later chairing major UN inquiries on human rights. Openly gay since the mid-1980s, he has used his legal stature to champion LGBTQ+ rights, calling out religious-influenced homophobia, speaking at events like the 2002 Sydney Gay Games, and continuing to advocate globally throughout retirement. In a wonderful conversation with Todd Sears, he reinforces the key message that inclusive leadership, founded in justice and visibility, is essential.
