A tribute to a fight that changed the nation.

Warm, earthy, and deeply nourishing, this lentil and beetroot soup honours the Tasmanian activists who fought to end Australia’s last anti-gay laws. Each jar layers red lentils, beetroot, tomato, and spices to create a meal that’s both comforting and powerful.

In 1997, after years of protest, legal battles, and courage from activists like Nicholas Toonen, Tasmania finally decriminalised homosexuality. This soup celebrates that legacy, a reminder that change is built from persistence, care, and community.

Simply add water, simmer, and serve with solidarity (and sourdough if you’ve got it).

Purchases includes a 300g of dried soup mix. 

This product is vegan and gluten free.

    THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT

    Activist Soup Kit

    This soup is more than a meal — it’s a tribute to a fight that changed the nation.

    For years, Tasmania held onto the harshest anti-gay laws in Australia. As late as 1997, consensual homosexual sex was still a crime, which was punishable with up to 21 years in prison.

    In 1988, activists staged protests at Salamanca Market, facing arrests and public abuse. In 1994, Tasmanian activist Nicholas Toonen took his case all the way to the United Nations, where the UN Human Rights Committee ruled that Tasmania’s laws violated international human rights.

    Despite this, it wasn’t until 1 May 1997 that Tasmania finally decriminalised homosexuality, the last Australian state to do so.

    This soup kit honours the long haul of that activism. It’s made with earthy, nourishing ingredients that speak to resilience and care. It’s food for protest, for community, and for sharing across generations.
