I am a thirty something married gay boy living in Sydney, almost on top of the gay scene but not in it!
Why Sometimes blue?, because I love blue, but also I am sometimes blue :)
Week Wrap Up
This weeks news and events that have got me going:
The right wing bigot, Alex Hawke has been preselected for a safe NSW Liberal seat, prompting an ex NSW Liberal leader to say, "Even Blind Freddy cold see he was the wrong choice". Alex Hawke is the ex President of the Yong Liberals who famously once told people that the Liberal party should get back to it's roots of ultra conservatism and vote against such things as equalising the homosexual age of consent. It's a great day for the NSW Labor party though, the further right the Liberals get the less likely they are to ever get back in power!
The undisputed queen bee of the gay Sydney scene, Dawn O'Donnell died last weekend after a battle with cancer. Dawn at one stage or another owned or started some of the most famous and important gay clubs, pubs and stores in Sydney. Not far behind in controversy, Dawn was linked to fire bombings, murders and was often cited as the head of the Sydney Gay Mafia. Regardless of the rumors she was also a great stalwart of the community and gave her time and money to help support and better the gay and lesbian community.
Two men in Western Australia were the first official same sex coupe to adopt a child who was not related to either of them. This great step forward for equality is already being met with great derision by the right wing bigots with the all too familiar catch cry of 'will someone think of the children'. Personally I thought that's what adoption was, where two loving people adopt a child to love, support and protect, inst that thinking of the children?
