Created this group because not all of us have lesbian friends we can go to for advice. If a few more people join I’ll consider changing it to a private group (only people who are members can read and comment). Feel free to reply and post your opinion.
Or also get the ball rolling. Can be a problem on anything girls, coming out, alternate…[Read more]

Hey, so if I were to move to Australia, or relocate there for a bit anyway, what states have the most gay friendly legislation, and what cities have high concentrations of gaywads?
-
You should probably just head straight for Newtown, Sydney really ;) This site http://wearitwithpride.com.au/ is pretty fabulous also. Enter your state/the state you’re looking at heading to and a few demogrpahic details and it will give you a run down of the relevant legislation.
-
Sounds excellent. I might also consider Woolloomooloo for the novelty of living in the most hilariously named place ever. Perhaps that is the opiates talking, but I seriously can not stop giggling about Woolloomooloo. Definitely Sydney. Newtown is the gayborhood there, right?
-
Well, if its novelty you’re after, Kangarilla, Iron Knob and Boing Boing should probably be on your list as well… Newtown is most definitely the gaybourhood.
-
Newtown is a gayborhood, but also try Glebe, Paddington and Darlinghurst… I like Newtown’s atmosphere more though, some of the other places can be a bit super fashionable, whereas Newtown feels like more of any everyone’s welcome mix.
Melbourne is a wonderful city, too, and there are also inner city suburbs with high concentrations of gaywads,…[Read more]
-
Woolloomooloo is a tad expensive as it’s in the city. But I just want to say that as someone who has always lived in Sydney’s lower north shore I find it incredibly safe and it has never bothered me to be my gay old self here (but then I am also fairly femme).
Also novelty town names: wogga wogga.
-
cindy where are you from on the north shore?
-
just near north sydney.

oh cool, i grew up in mosman!

According a study I read for uni, the lowest ranking city for homophobia is Melbourne, followed (much to my shock!) by Perth, then Sydney.
I moved to Melbourne from Perth a couple of years ago, and the gayness of the city is such a beautiful thing. Sydney’s also meant to be quite nice, I dont like it so much myself.
Good luck with move! -
I would love to talk up my city but I can’t, Adelaide is pretty shit in the homo department. My recommendation would be Melbourne, I would live in Brunswick if I could!
-
I live in Glebe (Sydney) and it is extremely queer. It’s a little expensive though – I feel like inner city suburbs like Enmore, Stanmore, Marrickville and Leichhardt are better value.
Woolloomooloo is one of the only places in Sydney where I feel concerned about my safety.
-
well, hating on canberra (where I live) is a popular pasttime here, but my mother says that it is the lesbian capital of australia. so.

Hi I’m Chloe from (or rather, near) Melbourne!
-
hey, i’m also from melbourne! :)
-
I am jealous of the Melbournites :) it’s my favourite city in Aus, I am moving there when I get back from overseas next January.
-
ah good choice! where are you off to?
-
Off to Europe – backpacking and some study in Denmark :) I am really looking forward to life in Melbourne town though, I’ve wanted to live there for aaaages.
-
that sounds amazing, i might venture off to europe next year! haha i’m just a little biased but melbourne is the only city i’ve been to that i’d really want to live in (apart from san francisco). lots to look forward to!

-
yay! melbourne <3
-
-
Melbournestraddlers! Hooray!
-
Oh, that sounds awesome! Where are you doing your exchange? Hope you’re having an amazing time :)
I’ve only spent a week in Perth, but I loved it. Sun, sea, funky shops and cafes… if it wasn’t so far away from the rest of the country, I’d move there in a heartbeat.
-
Hey! I’m from melbourne too. I know it’s been ages but I’m excited about the existence of y’all.
