Synopsis
Writer and poet Omar Sakr reads his remarkable essay 'Any Percentage of a Heart Is Still A Heart' from Meanjin's Autumn 2018 edition. In this piece, Sakr uses a conversation between himself and his cousin about his own bisexuality to frame a wider discussion about Australia's controversial 2017 same-sex marriage postal survey. Sakr delves into the fallout of the survey on the LGBTQI community, his own status as a queer Arab-Australian man in Australia, and his complex relationship with western Sydney.
