Shortcut: The Deadly Homophobia of Colonial Australia
Manage episode 410475552 series 2392514
This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.
This is a truly heartbreaking case from Melbourne's gold rush heyday.
Although Australia is considered a youthful and progressive nation, we didn't start decriminalising homosexual acts until 1975.
On this episode, we travel back to the 1870s, when Melbourne was blossoming. Shaking off her convict roots and making her mark on the world stage as a prosperous European-inspired capital.
She could still be pretty inhospitable though, for anyone who didn't fit the mould...
Michael Adams' 4-part series on Edward Feeney and Charles Marks, and all of his other episodes of "Forgotten Australia", can be found wherever you get your podcasts.
