PJ Weir gay activist and advocate for same-sex marriage, was a consultant at the Gay Exchange for over a decade, contributing regularly to the blog. Proud of his Aboriginal descent, PJ maintained a long-term relationship with his partner, Darren. In late 2014, PJ left his job as his mother fell ill, relocating to Queensland to become her full-time carer.
The iconic Gay Exchange, Sydney’s first all-gay adult store, faced closure in June 2017. The building was taken over by the State Transit Authority to facilitate the construction of the new rail. PJ’s departure from the Gay Exchange marked the end of an era for the establishment, which had played a significant role in the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite the challenges posed by the closure of the Gay Exchange, PJ continues his advocacy work and commitment to LGBTQ+ rights. His relocation to Queensland to care for his mother reflects his dedication to family and community, emphasizing the importance of support and care during times of need. PJ’s legacy, both at the Gay Exchange and in his ongoing advocacy, stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and the causes he passionately supports.
