GAY ANNUAL EVENTS BRISBANE

Changg gay history.

For better or worse, I was advertently volved changg the face and fabric of LGBT history Queensland, Atralia, at a time when was illegal to be gay while police and ernment were sperate to squash . An inic Brisbane gay bar, wh the Brisbane Fortu Valley club space, Cockatoo Club at the time was owned by Tony Bello where Vic, havg met me at the Sheraton, hired me to work ially as his ‘ey and ears’ bartenr.

ATRALIA HAS LONG HAD A GAY BEACH SUBCULTURE BUT THEY HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN SAFE SPAC

While other stat Atralia fixed their anti-gay laws the 1970’s/1980’s, Queensland was led by the nservative ‘Natnal Party’ led by Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. His ernment actively ed homophobia for electoral advantage, lkg all gay men to pedophilia & assertg all gay men are morally viant.

Anti-gay laws were tensely enforced by Queensland police throughout the 1980s, (lbian activy was always legal). Ined, some police would e to The Beat for “poofta hunts” [‘poofta’ beg Asie rogatory slang for gay] and turned a bld eye to “poofta bashgs” – a mon problem Brisbane at the time – particularly our back alley.

The Bjelke-Petersen Government tend that the new licensg law be ed to refe service to gay men — and centered on the 2 major gay venu Brisbane — the Term and The Beat. This stupid game helped however, helped solidify a gay Brisbane muny uned jt wantg acceptance. The Queensland Natnal Party alerted voters to a loomg homosexual vasn.

As the dyg ernment flailed search of a lifele, they latched onto homosexualy as a lifebuoy. Queensland Natnal Party policians such as Geoff Muntz and Ian Sclair ma their anti-gay views very vol, wh Sclair claimg that the Labor Party’s failure to nmn homosexualy was helpg to spread HIV. Then Welfare Servic Mister Geoff Muntz said, “homosexuals dulge a viant liftyle” and did not thk gay people should be allowed public swimmg pools.

“You’ll never hear of a gay mardi gras or gay swimmg rnival Queensland.

Fear of HIV and AIDS were at their height the 1980s, the Bjelke-Petersen Government ed this fear to crease homophobic sentiment and monize gay people further.

Rumors spread you uld tch the homosexual only HIV/AIDS by drkg om same glassware or even beg near a poofta. One of s remendatns was that a newly tablished Crimal Jtice Commissn review the laws erng nsensual sexual behavr, cludg gay activy.
