RITTER, ALISON; MATTHEW‐SIMMONS, FRANCIS; CARRAGHER, NATACHA
- Abstract
The authors reflect on the relationship between the legalization of gay marriage and the reduction of alcohol and drug use in Australia. The authors say that the social norms of the gay and lesbian community regarding the importance of venues for socialization have increased the availability and access of alcohol and other drugs. Moreover , the authors add that the legalization of gay marriage is an important contributor in the reduction of drug and alcohol harm in Australia.
