Many have been touched by the simple display of long-lasting, same-sex love.Peter told Queerty more about his relationship with Murray, revealing: “We met at a nightclub on a Friday night.
I was introduced to him by his ex-partner.” The club was Connections in Perth, Western Australia. Commonly known as Connie’s, it’s still running today.“It was just before the AIDS epidemic hit in Australia,” says Peter.At the time, same-sex relationships were not legal in Tasmania.“It wasn’t until 1997 that Tasmania passed legislation to recognize same-sex relationships.
