The Naked Bunyip (1970)Homosexualy was tnip to many of the filmmakers behd the wave of sexploatn documentari that flourished Atralia the 1970s, which often served as an exce to show tillatg shots of lbians gettg down to bs the bedroom. Gay men, if they appeared, were ually shown as unsympathetic, bchy queens.
Not so The Naked Bunyip, the grandfather of Atralian sexploatn, which a lengthy segment is voted to a gay male dock worker, who talks ndidly about his life. The film draws parallels between the close mascule relatnships that form unr the Atralian phenomenon of ‘mathip’ and homosexualy, while talkg heads discs the importance of crimalisg gay sex, which at the time of the documentary was a crimal offence Atralia. Although seldom tegorised as a gay film, viewers won’t need to dive ep for the queer subtext this vlent, male-domated world.
Bond himself was gay, an early bar scene looks like a scene om William Friedk’s S&M thriller Cisg (1980), while is clear that some sort of sexual act, probably a rape, tak place between the teacher and Doc after a vlent stggle, sendg the protagonist to another spiral of spair. The Clic (1982)In this fun and bawdy bo of scy edy and sex tn aid, we dip to a day the life of a VD clic, where a laid-back doctor (Chris Haywood) and a pdish medil stunt (Simon Burke) tend to patients of all walks of life, om ank sex workers to ashamed hoewiv, om promiscuo gay men to cheatg hbands.

Appalled when a motached man the wag room flirts wh him, the stunt’s homophobia be manift the dramatic scene when he realis the doctor, too, is gay, snarlg: “Those men e here and they drop their pants for you. It’s boosted hugely by a very likeable performance om Haywood as the gay doctor, who eventually manag to fe a bond of iendship wh the nservative youngster. The Everlastg Secret Fay is one such film, an often homophobic tale of a young man who be termed to climb the social ladr and live the high life when he be the object of sire of a closeted homosexual polician.
It’s an easy film to mock, and s kky scen of bondage and a (thankfully off-screen) paful-soundg sex act wh a large crab teeter to mp, and suggt the filmmaker’s opn of gay men may not be very high. But ’s wickedly entertag, Arthur Dignam is excellent as the polician, and ’s a unique film that uld not have been ma at any other time, wh sex scen too graphic for before the 1980s and an anti-gay streak too unpalatable for the 1990s. Filled wh quotable l and gags (not least the monstroly polilly rrect “the only bang you’re ever gonna get” eback that Bernatte serv a homophobic woman), the film was adapted to a hugely succsful mil that toured worldwi.
The Sum of Us is based on David Stevens’ play about a blokey gay guy who liv at home wh his lovg widowed father. For much of s length, the film feels very post-gay; Isaac (Ewen Llie), our antihero, a moody Greek Atralian who unearths some unpalatable fay secrets when he returns to Greece followg the unexpected ath of his father, is certaly not fed by his homosexualy.

He is dragged to a nightmarish gay unrworld, leadg to a shockg endg that arriv like a punch to the gut. Monster Pi (2013)This lovable gay teen drama transcends s low budget and a uple of wonky supportg performanc to emerge as a highly wng tale of first love.
The plot self is a gay staple: Mike (Tristan Barr) velops a csh on William (Lus Lehan), the new boy at school, and the two are assigned to work on a project together, a vio reimagg of Romeo and Juliet. Romance blossoms but is threatened by Mike’s homophobic mother and William’s vlent alholic father. While the fal 20 mut veer to melodrama, overall this is the bt of the recent spate of Atralian gay teen dramas, and the neart thg to an Antipoan Betiful Thg.
