Gays got married in 1932 - Australia


A newspaper article from Brisbane in 1932 has been unearthed. It says gays were marrying, albeit the article is entirely scathing of the ceremonies. A bit funny to read actually. So much homophobia.

The article is available online here to view, with zoom features and all. I've saved a snip and darkened it a bit to make it more legible. Don't you just love the old letterpress?
