I am 99% done with this wedding, which is gr&. I just have to go through and make sure all the photos are exactly right, then export those sons of bitches as enormous jpegs and put them onto DropBox or a USB or whatever, and then seeya later! Into the archives to be found again at some other point in time, I dunno. Finishing a product for a client feels good, I recommend it.

Who knows, and how did they find out?
Some of my friends knew before I did, the rest of them, I presume most of them know by now, I’ve never really made a secret of it. But I haven’t had a big ‘coming out’ party or anything. Some of my relatives know - I had a rather awkward conversation with my Christian mother but for the most part I just don’t really bring it up around family - either they know or they don’t.
Try to imagine your life ten years from now… where are you?
I could be in Queensland or Western Australia working the mines as a geologist, or I could’ve gotten sick of being interstate and come back to Victoria to do something… I don’t know what.

What do you think the future holds for queer people?
I’d like to hope that the future holds for us, I guess, mainstream acceptance. People will be moving on from this being a hot-button issue, and kids being comfortable asserting binary sexualities without being judged for it. Realistically, I think it’s a social stigma that’s probably never going to go away, and we’ll be fighting it for a really long time, but I like to think that the world will get better for us.
Try to imagine your life ten years from now… where are you?
Oh, look, probably dead? Nah, I’ll imagine I’ll be teaching, I’ll have probably 10 or 15 tattoos hidden in places on my body, and I’ll probably still be living in Melbourne.
