GAY ALAI (ALAI, SOUTH ATRALIA)

There’d be the evable lows ed by this difference – thgs like the time I was at one of my primary school danc and some of the girls refed to hold my hand to dance bee they didn’t want to touch my black one of my nt’s equatg beg gay to paedophilia and sayg she wouldn’t want her kids to be around my boyiend at the equally there were the highs – like the extra attentn I’d get om people who would marvel at or want to touch my Jackson 5 spired Ao. Source: SuppliedWhen I was around 14 or 15 I really me to accept that I was gay but I still ntued to qutn a b: “I’m black, and black guys aren’t gay”. I remember slippg to Alai’s only gay bar at a young age and feelg exced but also so disappoted beg the only non-whe person the room.

I’d flip between one extreme to the other wh ternal dialogu my head: om “you’re gay so you should be to Kylie Mogue like every other Alai gay” to “you’re black so you should be to rap mic and drs like a gangster” (as that sadly was my only reference pot for black people at the time). First person of lour, first black guy born Atralia (the shocked fac some people would have when I would start speakg wh an ‘Atralian’ accent), the first gay guy. Perhaps ’s the regn’s Alai –like weather and progrsive vibe, or s diverse yet well-tegrated populatn (you won’t fd a ncentrated “gayborhood” like Sydney’s Darlghurst and Oxford Street here); Melbourne and Alai Atralia are about as LGBT–iendly as they e.

In a 2013 Pew Rearch poll, 79% of Atralians agreed that homosexualy should be accepted by society, makg the fifth most supportive untry the survey behd Spa (88%), Germany (87%), Canada and the Czech Republic (both 80%).
