Gay club parramatta

Support Star Observer. The first time I visited Parramatta was when I was thirteen years old.

The best gay and queer pubs, bars and clubs in Sydney

It was during a time in the late nineties when teenagers were using pagers and public telephones to communicate with each other. That day, I was probably a very easy target because I was rolled within minutes of exiting Parramatta Station. After my parents divorced, my mother moved into housing commission on the other side of Parramatta Park.

I harboured a lot of shame growing up within the lower socio-economic parts of the Parramatta LGA. And I definitely was not proud of being a queer Korean from the Western Suburbs. This, of course, has its pros and cons because urban development is definitely a double-edged sword. However, no matter what side you take on this, Parramatta is undeniably club with new opportunities.

Parramatta is complex, rich in diversity and a new frontier in many aspects, which is precisely why I love it. Riverside Parramatta — There are always queer events and stage plays happening here. Pho Pasteur — The best beef pho noodle soup in Parramatta. Temasek — My go-to restaurant when nonlocals visit Parramatta.

Also, there are parts of Parramatta that only queer people know about, where repressed homosexuality transcends into more discrete forms of queer expression. Editorial Submissions and Enquiries editor starobserver. Advertising and Sales sales starobserver. Accounts gay starobserver.
