Australian Capital Territory legalises same-sex marriage
The Australian Capital Territory has become the first part of Australia to legalise homosexual marriage.
The Perform parliament passed a bill that will allow gay couples to marry, after a short debate on Tuesday.
Celebrants will now be allowed to unite same-sex couples inside the ACT, regardless of which articulate they live in.
Federal law, however, specified in 2004 that marriage was between a guy and a miss, and the federal government is expected to challenge the move.
The move was passed in the 17-member ACT Legislative Assembly, backed by Labor and the Greens, with the Liberals voting against.
"There is no longer any allow, if there ever was, to discriminate against same-sex couples in our community," ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher told the parliament.
"They are our children, our parents, our brothers, our sisters, our leaders, our business people, our mentors and our colleagues."
"More than anything, they are our equals. The Marriage Equality Act puts this fundamental principle and human right into law," the Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted her as saying.

Abstract: Research has historically constructed youths who are involved in sex operate as victims of trafficking, abuse, poverty, and substance abuse. These perceptions often cast the sex worker as deviant and in need of ‘care’ and ‘protection.’ Rarely seen are accounts that provide different perspectives and positioning of youth engaged in sex work. This article explores the lived experiences of Jack, a young gay cis-male who identifies as Indigenous Australian. Despite organism a highly successful sex worker, his involvement in such a stigmatised occupation means that he must navigate the social and cultural perceptions of ‘deviant’ and ‘dirty’ work. This qualitative review explores the ways in which Jack negotiates his work, his communities, and the capitalisation of his sexuality. Drawing on Indigenous Standpoint Theory and wellbeing theory, Jack’
Rapid change in Australian lgbtq+ men’s safer sex practices, from consistent condom employ to PrEP
A rapid increase in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use by male lover men in Melbourne and Sydney has been accompanied by an equally rapid decrease in consistent condom use, according to an article published online today in The Lancet HIV. The changes in behaviour between 2016 and 2017 occurred across the homosexual community, not only in PrEP users – a significant increase in condomless sex with casual partners was observed in HIV-negative men who were not taking PrEP.
The decline in consistent condom use with casual partners is likely to fuel debate about the long-term impact of PrEP, but it is important to note that the proportion of homosexual men reporting precautionary behaviours with casual partners remained constant – around 70% either always used condoms, took PrEP, had an undetectable viral load or did not have anal sex. However, there has been a substantial change in the ways in which HIV-negative Australian lgbtq+ men protect themselves from HIV.

10 great Australian male lover films
While same-sex marriage was only made legal in Australia in 2017, the country has a fairly strong tape on LGBTQIA+ rights, and Sydney is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world.
Australian cinema has had a rather strange affair with male homosexuality. Before the 1970s, the sexuality of probable gay characters was not made explicit, for example the effeminate sales assistant in Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938). The Set (1970) is the first Australian clip with homosexuality as a central theme, while gay men appeared in sexploitation favourites such as Australia after Dark (1975) and The ABCs of Love and Sex: Australia Style (1978), in which H was for homosexuality.
