Humanism in Queensland began in an organised form in 1968 when the Rationalist Society changed its name to the Humanist Society of Queensland (HSQ). Victor Lloyd (pictured) was HSQ's first President. Victor coordinated the society's policies on Civil Marriage Celebrants, Abortion Law Reform, Homosexual Law Reform, the Vasectomy Information Service and the Sex Counselling Service. He led the Society's opposition to Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. He managed the State campaign in the Defence of Government Schools (DOGS) case.
Over the last forty years we have carried on the important work started by the early members of HSQ and still seek to provide a much needed rational voice on the importance of a separation of religion and state.
