Sorry I'm posting this in the gay section, but I have a few questions. I really want to visit Australia. What is it like compared to the US? As a gay man who is relatively masculine, would I be okay going to straight bars there (I don't tell every person I meet that I'm gay)?

I've done a lot of research and it seems as though many things are better there in Australia. The weather (from where I live here in the US), the economy, and the friendly people.

Oh, just FYI -- I would like to visit Brisbane since it's warm all year.

P.S. I've also researched getting a working VISA and I realize it's not easy.
