Lesbian Tourism: ‘The Relationship between the Lesbian ‘Rainbow Tourist’ and Perth, W.A.’

In September, 2008, the Lord Mayor of Perth, Ms Lisa Scaffidi wants to position Perth as a ‘gay-friendly’ or ‘homosexual-friendly’ city, but some opposition were against this notion. Whilst the social exclusion of both gay males and lesbian tourists are targeted, the focus of this research is on lesbian residents and lesbian tourists, since there is an identified lack of research done on this topic. This study will support statistical evaluation of this defined group.
This study is an Honours Project study in Tourism at Murdoch University, under the supervision of Dr. Diane Lee, Tourism Program Chair.

===================================================================

A GetUp nationwide poll made politicians and pundits sit up and take notice that over 70% of Australians want same sex couples to have the same legal rights as de facto couples. A GetUp petition was launched in 2007 to tell politicians the time had come to remove this unfairness.
After more than a year of intense lobbying, the Senate will debate laws that remove this outdated discrimination.
Add your name to the petition to make it too large to ignore.
