TOUR

The Beyond ‘That’s So Gay’ Tour commenced in Geelong on February 22 2010.  The 38-week national challenging homophobia tour of regional, rural and remote Australia has now come to it’s conclusion, again in Geelong in November 2010.

When Daniel reached the conclusion of the tour, again in Geelong, he had driven 36,000kms around the country through all sorts of landscapes and climates.

Daniel chose to stay one-week, or close to it, in most locations so that he could make the most of “referrals” for interviews (i.e. whilst interviewing one person, they might recommend someone else in town who Daniel might have a ‘cuppa’ with).

Below are all the blogs that have been posted since the tour began.  In addition there were tour blogs for the first 10 weeks and then a few from Queensland which you can see, along with bloopers and outtakes at:

Blog Note: Feedback to me since this blog has noted that I failed to highlight that RYM only exists today because of the investment of ‘blood, sweat and tears’ of local LGBT young people and one local worker (see Lismore blog), rather than just because of the work of Open Doors.  My apologies for this and thanks to the LGBT young of Mackay who invested so much to make RYM the effective, sustained project it is today.
