Costa and Tony



Most ABC TV watchers and most Australian gardeners who tune in to tv gardening shows would know this bloke, Costa Georgiadis. To say he is a hairy dude is an understatement. Some people like him and some really don't. If you can cope with his appearance, he is competent and likeable as host of Gardening Australia. But I do like to label people, to put them boxes, to fit them into my mind.

So who is Costa's wife? He does not appear to have one, nor children, and has mostly lived at his parent's home in Bondi. What to make of that? Is Costa gay? Not interested in any type of relationship? I've not heard gay rumours, but then I am not very closely in touch with those who know such things.

A long time broadcaster on ABC Radio has retired. Off and on over the years I have listened to Tony Delroy's Nightlife and at times his literary luncheons. More recently I have only downloaded podcasts of segments of his show that interest me. Although I have never heard him say he is gay, it must be the worst kept secret in ABC radio land. It was quite obvious to me when I first began listening to him. He has been a terrific broadcaster over so many years, but I can't help feeling sadness that he did not use his high profile in both city and rural areas and come out as being gay publicly. By doing so he could have done so much good, especially for closeted country people. Of course it is his personal business and private life and he certainly isn't obligated, but I think it is sad he did not when he really had nothing to lose.
