Putting yesterday's mortifying tale to the back of our minds, there was an unbelievable amount of good about Saturday's Marriage Equality Rally. The community support was massive and so reassuring, the crowd was at times electric. It was so exciting to be a part of and to share it with some of my … [Read more...]
I just want to put a few facts to you today, put to bed any confusion or mistruths around what a Conscience Vote means. Our dear PM Julia Gillard announced yesterday Government backing for a Conscience Vote on Gay Marriage. But St. Murphy, isn't this a good thing? Won't Parliament finally get … [Read more...]
Just cause we can’t get married doesn’t mean we can’t have a Bucks Night! Why should the straights have all the fun? If there’s one thing the gayers know how to do well its have a good time. Only natural then that there would come a time when we’d want to put our own spin on this … [Read more...]
I’m breaking one of my sacred St. Murphy rules tonight and that is… Thou shall not bloggeth drunk! Granted, I am only what ladies would call ‘tippsy’ but nonetheless this is requiring far greater concentration than it normally should, would or could.

Lots of emailing and blogging of late about the horrid situation in Ugandan where there was the potential for a law to be introduced that could mean death penalty for homosexual acts. Parliament wrapped up yesterday and the Bill … [Read more...]
I've talked about David Kato here before, and its time again to revisit his story. He was killed in Uganda for being gay after a 'name and shame' campaign by local papers, which is so disturbing I'm lost for words. But the Ugandan Parliament is still trying to pass laws that could see gays and … [Read more...]
I do not want to see the shots of Osama bin Laden shot in the face. And I do not need to see them. Surely this is one instance where we should be happy to take the word of the leader of the free world. If Obama puts himself on the line like this, he who has so expertly linked himself with this … [Read more...]
WARNING: No Valentines Day love-stuff here. So my overall bad mood continues today. My apologies in advance, I promise it will lift soon. But today I need to get off my chest how I feel about our Attorney-General, John Hatzistergos. A man I’ve never heard of before but who goes straight to the … [Read more...]
