The 78’ers Apology
In 1986 I came to Sydney. A month or so later I was in a taxi one night on my way to god knows where, and during this trip my driver passed a street that looked like paradise. It was filled with young gay men my age. Oxford Street was alive with guys going from bar …
I met a guy
I had this unnerving urge to stay private. Private about my homosexuality.

The lost art of reminiscing.
We went to a slide show. Not your 1970s type where those 'celluloid in a plastic frame' images were projected on a wall. It was a modern 'stick the flash drive thing' into that monitor in the lounge room that also has a television tuner in it. With wine in hand, we watched a friend's trip …
Literary Speed Dating
