South Australia and Queensland remain the only states where the gay panic defence can still be used.
Until the late 70s, the gay-panic defence was not a defence of provocation but of insanity. Thomas Poberezny-Lynch tells me: “The logic went that the accused would say the deceased made a sexual advance towards me and that triggered my latent homosexuality which then caused me to suffer a bout of insanity – because homosexuality was considered a mental illness at the time – and therefore inflict fatal violence upon the deceased. And because at the time of the death I was insane, I cannot be held legally responsible for my actions, and I can’t be found guilty of murder.”
Since homosexuality has not officially been considered a mental illness since 1973 the defence has morphed into a more straightforward matter of “he came on to me and I flipped out”.
