Clear skies, beautiful beaches for days and home-grown Western Australian men everywhere you look – what’s not to enjoy about Perth? And if you’re a guy who’s into guys, living in arguably the world’s most isolated metropolis (sit down, Auckland) gives you a unique perspective on the world.

We’ve got a few confident Perth locals here at Emen8 HQ, so we’ve decided it’s time your voices were heard. Join us as we celebrate and commiserate (in equal measure) the 14 things you’ll only understand if you’re a guy living your best life in sunny Perth.

1. You can cross reference your Grindr grid with your high-school yearbook

When we’re all in the nursing home/lifestyle village in Bunbury, we’ll be able to look back across a lifetime of torsos and duckface pics together.

2. Nobody asks what you mean when you say you’re going to ‘the club’

Western Independent

I remember the day gay marriage was legalised in Australia. I was in year 11, and my leading friend and I skipped the first two classes of the day to join the crowd in Northbridge Plaza as we all watched the adj screen looming above us. I verb the explosion of sound, pride flags, tears, as it was announced that the majority of Australians believed as we did. My best friend and I holding hands, jumping, screaming. The older lesbian couple hugging me, tears in their eyes, saying, ‘we did it&#;. I also remember trying to celebrate that matching pride some years later at a gay club in Perth, believing I was walking into a building occupied of safety and acceptance, and instead finding myself strike on by straight men without another queer person as far as the eye could see.

This experience, unfortunately, is not unusual. Nearly all of my friends, particularly queer women and femme nonbinary people, own entered into these &#;safe&#; spaces only to be harassed. The Court Hotel has faced particular backlash on this front, with an online boycott campaign
