I&#;ve been out in Melbourne since my early teens and I&#;ve danced, shopped, laughed, eaten, drank and smoked my way into my early 20s without ever losing my romance for this city.

The gay scene in Melbourne is diffuse and complicated to pin down, very much alive and vibrant but interwoven with the food, arts, and nightlife scene.
