Keven (he/him) is an 80-year-old former tram conductor, LGBTQIA+ activist, and storyteller living in Melbourne, Victoria.

In this episode, Keven shares his experiences of coming out in the 1970s when holding hands in public could lead to arrest. He reflects on the profound changes he has witnessed in LGBTQIA+ rights over the decades, from police persecution to Pride celebrations filling the streets. Keven also takes us on a journey through his rich and varied life—from working as a tram conductor in Melbourne to spending 20 years in the U.S., where he met his late partner of 21 years. Now retired, Keven dedicates his time to spreading joy at festivals, dressing as a vintage tram conductor, handing out old tram tickets and pennies, and reminding people of the importance of connection and community.
