Atralia is s gay era: a time when all the arne and uy machatns of the untry une to discharge a torrent of queerns upon the world. Jt sayg — Mch Feltscheer (@mchfel) July 13, 2023The cleart harbger of this era is the double whammy of gay pop that Atralia has produced recent months. It is pure gay smut: a paean to poppers spired, per his own admissn, by the sweaty clubs of Melbourne’s Smh Street.
It is, perhaps, the bt fence of twk Rh is merely a chaser to that other tentpole of gay Atraliana: Kylie Mogue, whose sgle Padam Padam skyrocketed to the top 10 of the UK charts last month and has (mostly) stayed there sce. But hear me out: this current era is by far Atralia’s gayt. )Sce Bartlett, the gay Atralian agenda has been full swg.

GAY MIC
‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria GaynorIt starts off slowly, shroud fear; then the beat kicks , the song builds nfince, and by the end, now backed by a strg sectn, ’s a full-bore dis anthem of self-assurance. On s betiful face, Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’ is about a woman gettg over the guy who done her wrong; but 1978, as gay liberatn was gatherg steam heated nightclubs around the world, also played like a claratn of hard-won pri (‘I ed to cry / But now I hold my head up high’) and pennce om the hetero norm (‘I’m not that chaed-up ltle person still love wh you’). Rerd at the height of Ameri's AIDS crisis and spired by New York’s unrground gay ball scene (famoly documented the 1991 film Paris Is Burng), Madonna’s ep-hoe–flected 1990 smash mands you to leave the heavy stuff asi—if only for a few mut—and fd salvatn on the dance floor.

‘Over the Rabow’ by Judy GarlandFor generatns who grew up as ‘iends of Dorothy’, yearng to pe to a realm of Technilor urban fantasy, the tac gay natnal anthem was Garland’s wistful ballad om 1939’s The Wizard of Oz (wh a geo melody by Harold Arlen and touchg lyrics by social activist E.Y. But even now that so many closet doors have opened, ‘Over the Rabow’—and don’t you dare ll ‘Somewhere Over the Rabow’ lt someone threaten to revoke your gay rd—still spir pri and reverence. ‘A Ltle Rpect’ by Erasure‘What relign or reason uld drive a man to forsake his lover?’ sgs Andy Bell on this stirrg synth-pop classic — a h for Brish duo Erasure 1988, and a perfect, piquant rponse to the Brish ernment’s outrageoly homophobic Sectn 28 legislatn.
Word is that at the time, Bell would troduce the song onstage sayg, ‘When I was a ltle girl, I asked my mummy, ‘Can I be gay when I grow up?’ She replied, ‘Y, if you show a ltle rpect.’’Image: Capol Rerds11.
