Travel Australia - by Craig Hill

Gay and Lesbian guide to Australia

June 5th 2007 05:55
With a recent ruling that allows a gay pub to ban heterosexuals, the issue of whether certain groups can have their own social space has come to the fore. It got me thinking about the gay culture in Australia and how much of subculture there is behind homosexuality.

Not being gay, I can't really give good practical advice on the gay scene in Australia, but not surprisingly, there are a few websites around about where to go and what to do if you are chasing the gay culture when coming to Oz. Of course, not all gay couples will want an Australian holiday based around the gay scene, but I am sure some do.

Galta.com.au


This is the website for Gay and Lesbian Tourism Australia and seems to be the most genuine and best directed website in this area. Many sites seem to be just cashing in on a market, but this site has made an effort to provide a legitimate gude to the states of Australia with sections on accommodation, leisure, eating anf getting about.

Dreadedned.com.au


This website has a number of features, but perhaps the most helpful is the venue guide. The nation is broken up into areas; I was even able to find the gay venues of Newtown.

Well there's a start for the gay and lesbian traveller!

They've passed a law that gives pubs teh ability to ban non-gay people? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the whole 'equal rights thing' involve equal rights to gay sand non-gays?

bleh, I don't know enough about it to comment on it, I just hope it isn't some sort of equal and opposite reaction to gay discrimination.

Could be something similar to banning women from men-only motels for all I know.

It's not a law, but Equal Opportunity Commission backed the state planning dep. decision to let them stop heteros coming in.
