Dear Lisa, Coming out is one of the most personal things that a person can do. It opens you up to a range of other people’s emotions, biases, presumptions and prejudices.
To say it’s a tough gig is an understatement. If you ask some who’ve come out, they will tell you that it resulted in people they love rejecting them. For others, the experience was gentle and supportive. It could go either way. When contemplating coming out, you should prepare yourself that not everyone is going to greet the news with a celebration, and some people may hurt you.
Your sexuality is one of the parts of who y…
Melbourne Fringe Festival has unveiled its wild and wonderful 2023 Program! Promising a Melbourne city-wide adventure playground, Melbourne Fringe organisers are calling this year's festival it's biggest event in its 41-year history. Among the 475 events, there’ll be a giant eight-metre-tall gold swing, a free sound and light installation over the Yarra, an ’80s high school-style formal, and the return of Klub Kong.
Dear Ben, Being well blessed comes with pros and cons, and if you are a newbie to this kind of relationship, you need to seek the appropriate advice regarding how to prepare yourself for that level of loving.
We are lucky here in Australia that every state has a queer place to seek advice from. In the ACT it is Meridian, in NSW it’s ACON, in QLD it’s Queensland Council for LGBTI Health, and so on. All of these services can give you the appropriate advice to be in a space to take your relationship to the next level.In the meantime, talk to your BF and explain your hesitance and your fears re…
If you’re a fan of ‘The Voice’, you’ve probably already heard of the amazingly talented Ellen Reed, who is heading to the Fresh Out stage and gracing the cover of this issue of FUSE Magazine.
Dear LJ, Wow, that was a short honeymoon. This might be a red flag — you need to quickly establish why your girlfriend wants to sleep alone.
It could be that she is a light sleeper, maybe you toss and turn or snore, or perhaps she just wants to sleep alone. A conversation will give you both an opportunity to address the issue and devise a solution that works for both of you.
If there is no practical reason why, then you need to ask yourself, do I want to be in a long-term relationship with someone who doesn’t want to sleep in the same bed? It’s totally OK to bow out if this is a deal-break…
As well as getting news, events and social updates from FUSE we also have regular giveaways: Events Tickets, Product Giveaways, and both Dendy Regular and Dendy Premium Lounge tickets, where you'll get the movie star treatment.

Australian Federal Labor Senator Nita Green has moved to establish a Senate inquiry into sexual consent laws. These are the laws that describe how sexual consent is defined for rape and sexual assault offences.

The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone NETFLIX
From director Maya Newell (In My Blood It Runs) comes a documentary short that’s no less impactful for its brevity. We meet Georgie Stone, a trans activist and the first trans person to appear on Neighbours, on the day that she is to undergo gender affirmation surgery. Newell’s film is essentially a ‘life in the day of’ story, using home video footage of Georgie throughout various stag…
