Unbelievablely appalling police behaviour!

[gavinchadwick · 9/10 · 8 July 2018]

As gay man and son of a policeman, I found much of this extremely confronting to watch. Thankfully I live in Western Australia. The behaviour of the police in the 70s , 80s and 90s was appalling! What is more appalling however, is the continued denial of the police and the covering up of their lack of due diligence! This documentary should make any civilised Australian bloody angry. I cannot imagine how these families feel anything but angry and pissed off!

Sad tragic look at lgbtq history

Very well done document, you don't need to be from there country to feel there pain and suffering. Why does no one ever talk about the media in this era and there terrible handling of the AIDS crisis, for no reason should have it ever been labeled a gay disease. They made a target out of alot of innocent people they should have just said it was sexuality transmitted and left it at that I was a victim of hate crimes before they were actually called that so the Police were little to no help. We have come along way with our struggle . Have a great day💋

Could Barely Get Thru It

The fact that the filmmaker included interviews of people who were clearly biased against gay people was very out of place. Also, the film used slurs GRATUITOUSLY - I stopped counting how many times "poofter" and "fag" were used when I started getting upset at hearing it. Not to mention how some interviewees were filmed expressing sympathy and empathy for 15-17 year olds who MURDERED a gay man. Unbelievable and it tarnishes the reputation and memory of an INNOCENT HUMAN BEING who lost his life at the hands of children who had hate in their souls.
