The gay and lesbian kingdom

The Coral Sea Islands, recognised as an EOT of Australia, met this criteria. The greatest challenge to a government’s power is the ability to mimic and act out the very roles they hold dear. Unfortunately, they did not receive affirming responses.

Cato Island, being a barren stretch of sand that featured a singular unmanned weather station, was not a feasible place to host a physical community, so they set up a website and various Facebook groups and forums to hold discussions surrounding what the Kingdom was and what it should do, as well as a PO Box in Southport, Gold Coast.

Which self did not.

 

 

Emperor Dale and his crew flew to Cato Island, where the capital city 'Heaven' was formed and a traditional 6-stripe rainbow gay Pride flag (the official flag of The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands) was raised. 

 

They created an official Declaration of Independence and installed a commemorative plaque which read: 

‘On the 14th day of June 2004, at this, the highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the Islands of the Coral Sea in his name as the homeland of the Gay and Lesbian people.

Under international law, 'oppressed people who occupy an EOT (External Overseas Territory) ... The Government also legislated a ban against same-sex couples adopting from overseas. This declaration of a right to secede is in itself a technique of remaining in visible depute with the government. By asserting their occupancy, these activists could establish their own queer friendly government.

in order to emphasis the authorities sent a push resign and re-create relating to the war averment in passage to Switzerland’s government. They flew to a tiny patch of sand and grass – Cato Island – in the Coral Sea islands off the Queensland coast.

In June 2004, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson I officially declared the existence of The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands.

The group laid a plaque that read, “On the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world.

I dare say that wasn't the reason it was

That same year, Australia held a postal survey regarding the question of marriage equality. It is here that nationalist roles and practices are ‘queered’ by performing the establishment of sovereignty in a way that displaces it, opening it as a reproduction that is inherently at odds with conventional operation.
