Rodney Croome

Rodney Croome is an advocate for gay human rights and author of Why vs Why: Gay Marriage.

Rodney Croome fronted the high-profile campaign to decriminalise homosexuality in Tasmania in the 1990s and has been involved in a wide range of other issues from combatting homophobia in schools to campaigning for gay blood donation.
