摘要

作者爱德华·格林在其2006年的论文《‘停留在布什’——对农村男同性恋者的研究》中，将他的研究主题描述为“农村男同性恋者大部分被隐藏和不为人知的故事”。对于生活在丛林中的男同性恋者来说，那是关键的一年，澳大利亚的电视台播出了他们的两个故事。在12个月的时间里，这群人从“隐藏和不为人知”变成了黄金时段。早在1989年，乡村政治家鲍勃•凯特(Bob Katter)就曾宣称，“如果北昆士兰的贫困人口超过0.001%，他将倒退着走到伯克”。通过分析媒体和流行文化，本文探讨了2006年前后澳大利亚农村男同性恋者的知名度和形象。尽管凯特的人口估计很少，但农村的同性恋群体继续违背假设。

Backwards to Bourke: Bulldust about Gays in the Bush

ABSTRACT In his 2006 thesis, “‘Staying Bush’ – A Study of Gay Men Living in Rural Areas”, author Edward Green described his subject as the “largely hidden and untold story of gay men living in rural areas”. That was a pivotal year for gay men living in the bush, with Australian television broadcasters platforming two of their stories. In the space of one 12-month period, this cohort went from “hidden and untold” to prime time. From as early as 1989, rural politician Bob Katter had been declaring that he would “walk to Bourke backwards if the poof population of North Queensland is any more than 0.001 per cent”. Analysing media and popular culture, this article explores the visibility and portrayal of rural gay men in Australia prior to and after 2006. In spite of Katter’s minuscule population estimates, the rural gay cohort continues to defy assumptions.
