Article Abstract:

The flourishing gay and lesbian community in Sydney, Australia, is becoming a tourist attraction in its own right. Many visitors wish to visit gay shops, cafes and art galleries, and the annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras attracts almost 1 million people. There are now estimated to be 600,000 gays and lesbians in the city, out of a total population of 5 million. The Gay Games 2002 is expected to be particularly successful in attracting visitors, and will probably earn almost A$100 million for New South Wales.
