Other countries or cities outside of the USA are not necessarily any safer for gay men or straight men. I almost got set upon in Vancouver, BC in a not so good area, being tourist I found out later from a Vancouver native that I stayed in the worst part. I heard a man shout in his local Canadian accent, There's the man with the money! I was carrying a brown envelope with directs to my gay B +B inside of it. It was nighttime and dark in what was for an unfamiliar city. I was terrified. I didn't know if this was in jest or a call for his nearby buddies to rob me. I heard another comment addressed to me that same night by strangers like "Don't you know that hot dogs are from America?" I am from the USA. I didn't come to Canada to be addressed by the locals with such speech that I never encounter in DC. I said nothing both times. Maybe I should stay home in my own country. I'd rather have trouble on my own soil than have trouble away from home especially overseas. SEE, American gays…..

Or maybe we could ship them to Saudi Arabia with their bibles, and there they would get a different view of religious hate, as the victims. Allahu Ahkbar!

Rudd is very aware of the Christian vote, as he is a very open semi-conservative Christian himself. And the country is a homophobia-free zone, meaning that it is anti-gay violence is illegal. I think Lord Mayor Moore could have come up with a better term to describe her vision for a safer Oxford St area. Sam, you’re spot on.

What is the Australian central government doing about this, or is Rudd too frighten to provoke the wrath of the conservative Christians??
