Aussie gays - who is out there?

Okay, as a prolific member of FT, a lot of Australian based members know me.

How many also identify as poofs or dykes? Note, that in Australia, "poof" and "dyke" is NOT a derogatory term.

I will identify as a poof.

Who else will do so.

My partner is an Aussie and I got my permanent residency visa this year (just not permanently residing there yet)!

I also only know the first line of "Advance Australia" so I'm getting to full aussie status.

That's enough, you qualify. Most Aussies don't even know that.

Another local poof reporting for roll-call.

driscj – will be sending you a PM to ask how you attained your permanent residency visa, my partner is in the early stages of the process.

And to thedocta – I've been reading your posts for years and I had no idea!
