Can anyone shed any light on how well gay guys generally get along in GA?
Think of the sort of places where most G/A goes on. Smaller, regional communities where the population is not as "enlightened and progressive as the capital cities". The sort of places Pauline Hanson was very popular and those who didn't vote for her voted National.
Think red neck hick towns with farm workers, miners, military, road maintenance, railway, etc, workers. These people can be some what narrow minded and unsympathetic where poofters are concerned. Trying to pick up another man in a pub in North Queensland will probably get you slung out the door with a black eye.
Best advice is keep it well to yourself. No lisping, mincing walks or limp wrists. Be seen reading RALPH, FHM, Shootin Magazines etc. Keep your usual lifestyle for back in the city and you should have no problems.
