Unsafe Subjects
This article addresses the emergence of children and young people as simultaneously sexual/gender non-normative and political subjects during the 2016 Safe Schools controversy. What appeared as a striking departure from previous controversies around non-normative sexuality was the appearance of young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) people speaking for themselves as political subjects. We are particularly inter…
Marriage as a Marker of Secular Inclusion? Oral History and Lesbian and Gay Narratives on Marriage in Contemporary Australia
Same‐sex marriage has been one of the most widely discussed social issues in contemporary Australia for some time. In late 2017, after holding a contentious national postal survey that year, the Australia government introduced legislation allowing same‐sex couples to marry. This article draws on a major national lesbian and gay oral history project conducted in partnership with the National Library of Australia between 2012 and 2015, when discuss…
Negotiating Difference Across Time
This paper examines the temporal meanings of the annual LGBTI pride event, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Drawing on findings from a large-scale oral history project, the paper explores ways in which Australian lesbians and gay men place Mardi Gras within life narratives. Three temporal frameworks were commonly used by our interviewees. First, Mardi Gras acted as an annual temporal marker through which to plan a year. Second, changing per…
Decriminalisation, Apology and Expungement
This article examines two instances when the relationship between homosexuality and the state was contested and redrawn in Victoria. It traces how the spectre of sex in public haunted the edges of public debate in both the moment when male homosex was ostensibly decriminalised at the beginning of the 1980s and during more recent moves to offer forms of redress to individuals convicted of sex crimes in the past that would now be considered legal a…
Australian Lesbian and Gay Life Stories
Lesbian and gay Australians have lived through extraordinary social change over the past six decades as attitudes towards homosexuality have shifted significantly. This article explores a collaborative project with the National Library of Australia, which was the first nation-wide oral history project to investigate the impact of these changes in the intimate lives of different generations of gay men and lesbians. Sixty men and women across Austr…
Who's coming up next to do this work?' Generational tensions in accounts of providing HIV care in the community
Generational change is believed to be transforming the educational and employment preferences of medical trainees. In this article, we examine generational tensions in interviews with policy leaders and clinicians on workforce issues within one subset of the Australian medical profession: general practitioners who provide care to people with HIV in community settings. Integrating the accounts of policy leaders (n = 24) and clinicians representing…
"Post-Gay" Yet? The Relevance of the Lesbian and Gay Scene to Same-Sex Attracted Young People in Contemporary Australia
In recent years, the lesbian and gay "scene" of bars, nightclubs, and dance parties has been undergoing a structural decline in many Western cities. This article aimed to examine the relevance of the scene to same-sex attracted young adults amid these changes. An online survey was conducted with 572 same-sex attracted young women and men in Sydney. Only a minority of respondents participated in the scene at least weekly (16%), and the majority di…
Minority Stress in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Young Adults in Australia
No Ordinary Mainstream Illness
Research has shown that social representations of HIV can constitute barriers to health workers' willingness to provide HIV care. Considering a growing shortage in the HIV primary workforce in Western countries, we examine how HIV is perceived today by doctors involved in its care. In 1989 Sontag predicted that once the virus became better understood and treatable, the dehumanizing meanings that defined the early epidemic would vanish and HIV wou…

Transforming Gay Subjects, Sydney 1970s-2000s
Over the past four decades, gay life in major western cities has undergone profound transformation. In this article, I take Sydney as a case-study of some of these changes. Through the lives of three gay men, I suggest that three broad shifts in gay life can be discerned: gay as a radical politics; gay as a communitarian project; and the first stirring of a post-gay life. Oral history provides an evocative method for appreciating for these change…

Trauma and The Relational Dynamics of Life-History Interviewing
Practitioners of oral history and life-history interviewing often claim therapeutic benefits for their practice. This article questions these claims especially when interviews involve a traumatic dimension. The repetitive nature of trauma can undermine the best intentions of the oral historian requiring the interviewer to be alert to both conscious and unconscious dynamics of the interview
What moves a family doctor to specialise in HIV? Interviews with Australian policy key informants
The population of people living with HIV in Australia is increasing, requiring an expert primary care workforce to provide HIV clinical care into the future. Yet the numbers of family doctors or general practitioners (GPs) training as community-based HIV medication prescribers may be insufficient to replace those retiring, reducing hours or changing roles. We conducted semi-structured interviews between February and April, 2010, with 24 key infor…
Activist Emotions
It has been argued recently that Australian historians have overlooked histories of emotion. In this article, through the life-history analysis of two long-standing Sydney gay activists, I trace the emotional currents of radical gay activism and suggest these histories point to a wider story of Left melancholy in the closing decades of the twentieth century. I argue that their melancholia is not a trauma-like despair but surprisingly is tinged wi…
What do gay men want
Endangered territory, endangered identity
Oxford Street in inner-city Sydney has been associated with gay identity, community and life since the early 1970s. In recent years, however, the street has declined as a gay precinct. This has engendered considerable anxiety among sections of the gay community, especially those activists and constituents with a substantial emotional investment in the idea of gay community and territory. These concerns have been especially acute around the issue …
