Been There Done ThatCelebrations around the world …We remark on the changing nature of our gay world – the good, the bad and the fun aspects. Locally, we note the Uniting Church of Australia will now allow ministers to marry same-gender couples in their churches, and they will also allow those ministers to opt out if they are not in favour. Sounds like a well-balanced response to the current scene. Sadly, we have to report that in the province of Aceh in Indonesia, Islamic Sharia law is being fiercely enacted – recently a gay couple were flogged 80 times each in front of a vocal crowd of 1...

Been There Done ThatAnother Easter – but where are the Bilbies?As we enjoy a quiet contemplative time over Easter and indulge in chocolate goodies, we reflect upon the pagan events which preceded Christian religious celebrations, noting that the Australian pagan festival of sport has now become the focus of public celebrations. The modern-era Olympic games returned in 1896 after a 1500 year absence, having been banned by religious zealots, (and the fear of naked flesh?), while the not-so-innocent Maypole celebrations were allowed to continue, except in England where Parliament banned them! Our recent Queer Film Festival featured a coming-out film, Love, Simon.  Some critics have called this f...
