What is it that attracts gay men and some straight women into such intense friendships? Is it genetic? Or is it a pheromone? Or do the women have a problem with relationships with straight men?

Gay Star News talks to Monica Davidson, the creator of a new film about the 'fag hag' called Handbag.

Davidson discovered that she is one link in four generations of women in her family who befriend gay men and her film explores these heartwarming friendships and tests out some theories on what is the source of this special relationship.

Retired high court of Australia judge Michael Kirby has spoken about reconciling his homosexuality and his Christianity.

In an interview with Jesuit media channel Eureka Street TV that was broadcast this week, Kirby describes himself as a ‘Protestant Anglican Christian’.

The legal academic who served as a high court judge from 1996 to 2009 says in the interview that he gets a ‘rather hard time’ from his partner of 43 years, Johan van Vloten, about his church attendance.

A video that suggests same-sex marriage will lead to polyamorous marriages with multiple partners has been condemned as ‘scaremongering’ by Australian Marriage Equality.

Introduced by the words ‘Marriage Equality, no consequences? Wait a minute…’ the video uses edits of high court judge Michael Kirby’s submission to the senate inquiry into legalizing same-sex marriage and an radio interview with polyamorist Rachelle White (scroll down to watch the video).

Retired judge Michael Kirby reached the pinnacle of his profession and served on the High Court of Australia for 13 years, but despite this he said today that he is a 'second-class citizen' because he can't marry his partner of 43 years.
