» woorama - Australian Indigenous GLBT/Sistergirls PhD research...

In response to Australian Indigenous GLBT/Sistergirls PhD research... posted by Dooky:

for most of the mission towns you'll have no luck - homophobia is so deeply entrenched that homosexuality is suppressed. this wasn't around in traditional society - it came with the invaders. but it is a reality now, especially on the mainland. (bit different on the islands). you might recall in my article how the mainland communities said that the tiwi people were cursed because of the sistergirls.

anyway, darwin is the best place to go, i think. any gay indigneous people unnaccepted in their communities tend to flee there, where there's a bit of a scene.
