Let Billy Bob Thornton explain the situation. In Australia I have witnessed homosexuals in the workplace frequently. Not so in other countries where I have spent 30% of my working life.

Oh well it must be true. Roll Eyes

Are you in the Merchant Marine or an Air Hostess. Grin

I've been working for 40 years in a wide range of positions and locations and have never come across homosexual activity in the work place.

I wonder if the excessive baggage and the closet strapped to your back detracted from your desirability?

Were you a model in a photo series for a book depicting Karma Sutra positions for homosexuals?

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Cumming across homosexual activity in the workplace?

Kinky!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It was so pervasive Australia developed the term mate and mateship to disguise the practice of open and latent homosexuality. What do you expect after UK emptied its prisons and set the felons loose in the wild after the were subjected to lashings of rum and bonhomie on the voyage.

It might be time you read the book '1788' by David Hill.

The shagging on the boats coming out here between the blokes and the girls was epic. It's surprising the boats didn't fall apart.

I'm not in a closet of any kind.

But I'll repeat my self in the forlorn hope you will heed me and seek the psychiatric help you so obviously and desperately need. You are a juvenile troll and idiot with nothing worth paying attention to. Cheesy

The first ship of the second fleet, the Lady Juliana with two hundred and twenty six women convicts and supplies on board, took almost a year to reach Sydney. It left England six weeks before the Guardian, on 29 July 1789, but it was still in Rio de Janeiro harbour – where it spent a leisurely six and half weeks – when the Guardian reached Cape Town. By the time the Lady Juliana finally reached Cape Town, the wreck of the Guardian was back in Table Bay, having struck the iceberg almost two months before.

It has been suggested that part of the reason for the slow passage of the Lady Juliana was that the entire crew had partnered with the convict women aboard the ship and were in no hurry to reach the penal settlement. In the words of John Nicol, a steward on the ship:

When we were fairly out to sea, every man on board took a wife from among the convicts, they nothing loath. The girl, with whom I lived, for I was as bad on this point as the others, was named Sarah Whitelam. She was a native of Lincoln, a girl of modest reserved turn, as kind and true a creature who ever lived. I courted her for a week and upwards and would have married her on the spot, had there been a clergyman on board…..I had fixed my fancy upon her from the moment I knocked the rivet out of her irons upon my anvil and as firmly resolved to bring her back to England when her time was out, my lawful wife…. She bore me a son on the voyage out. What is become of her, whether she is dead or alive, I know not. Wink

‘1788’ David HILL. p277.

I can't recall too much about man shagging. Embarrassed

"There is no surviving convict’s account of the experience below decks on the first fleet, but on a later convict ship the Irish political prisoner John Boyle O’Reilly was to write of the conditions;

When the ship was becalmed in the tropics the suffering of the imprisoned wretches in the steaming and crowded hold was piteous to see. They were so packed that free movement was impossible. The best thing to do was to sit each on his or her berth, and suffer in patience. The air was stifling and oppressive. There was no draught through the barred hatches.

The deck above them was blazing hot. The pitch dropped from the beams and burned their flesh as it fell. There was only one word spoken or thought – one yearning idea in every mind – water, cool water to slake the parching thirst. Two pints a day was served out to each convict – a quart of half putrid and blood warm liquid. It was a worful sight to see the thirsty souls devour this allowance as soon as their hot hands seized the vessel. Day in and day out, the terrible calm held the ship, and the consumoing heat sapped the lives of the pent up convicts. Hidious incidents filled the days and the nights as the convict ship sailed southward with her burden of disease and death. "

Also Hill '1788'.

I don't know where you get your definitive info from.
