Homophobia in Newtown

1999

Pedro says everything was new, that first week, before coming over he’d met a British couple Tony and Tony, who said ‘Oh My God’ when he said he’d be living in New Town. It was a slum when Paul moved in, but is now renovated. The neighbours’ reaction was awful, when Pedro was doing a show, he had to put make-up on and carry his costumes, and hope no-one was around, but run the gauntlet of name calling from the 8th floor, it was quite scary, covering his face from the CCTV cameras.
