Gross geographic generalisations forthcoming.

Well, of course.  If they aren't tolerant of homosexuals in the
eastern suburbs (young trendy yuppies), this would be Iran.  You try
the north shore (rich conservatives) or the wild west (ordinary
people) and see what you find.

Me, I couldn't stand the thought of being grossly generalised, so I
chose to live in the middle of the city.

A lot of people harbour secret prejudices against gays, as against
other groups.  In the US they would come out and scream at the top of
thier voice.  But being Australians, they keep their opinions to
themselves, having learnt from the media that they are not politically
correct opinions.
