Love Court Love

Margret Court Vs love


 Margret Court is a former Australian tennis player and a "christian" minister. She had a distinguished career as a tennis player, she was awarded an Order of British Empire and an Order of Australia which she still has despite her actions since retirement.  She has had show court one at the sports and entertainment complex in Melbourne park renamed to Margret Court Arena in her honor, this has remained the name despite her attacks on Innocent Australians.




 Unfortunately she has a horrible track record when it comes to her morality and decency.  Through her after- tennis life she has fought against the Australian constitution, and LGBT rights. She has supported the Australian (anti-) Family Association which can only reasonably be describes as a hate group. She even attacked Qantas after the CEO came out in support of human rights.



 Some of the ridiculous comments she has made are that 'Tennis is full of lesbians that take children to partys', she claims that transgender children were the work of the devil, She falsely equated sexual education to Nazis and communism, She has railed against an anti bullying program that helps LGBT children make it through their school years alive, She claims LGBT people are unable to love and only exhibit a lust for flesh, She has also claimed that Australia is a theocracy, Her views are obviously homophobic, racist and inaccurate. It is also important to note that she amazingly still claims to not be homophobic, despite her devotion to denying the rights (and even existence) of LGBT Australians including children.


 She has claimed that any effort by people with knowledge of LGBT issues to merely correct her misconceptions or to rename the arena after a non-racist and non-homophobic person are ironically bullying.



 Despite promising the LGBT community that Australia would have no place for homophobia or hate speech, Malcolm Turnbull supported her views, and keeping the Melbourne park named after her. 
 ...or its at Margret Court Arena of course.
 
 A lot of the media handled Courts deplorable views a bit dangerously.Very few news stories pointed out that her views were not supported by facts, and were inaccurate to say the least. Any attempt to correct the record on the dangerously inaccurate things she was saying was often reported by right wingers as preventing her free speech, despite her very public platform. I also don't think i seen any calls for all christians or women or tennis players to own her actions and to publicly denounce her disgusting views.
 Attacks on LGBT children are horrible as it is, and her evil comments show how important programs like Safe Schools anti-bullying programs really are. But now that the government has kowtowed to the vocal minority that doesn't want LGBT kids to survive through their school years, such homophobic comments become even more dangerous. 
 I really do feel that public figures have a responsibility to fact check what they say before they go public, especially when kids lives are at risk.



 If homophobia is effecting you as a victim of it or even as a perpetrator please get help. 


 It looks like the petition to re-name the arena is still active.

Its trash Day: Sonia Kruger

Its trash Day: Sonia Kruger

 

 Sonia Kruger is apparently a 'media personality', i had to look it up as i preferring my news unbiased, i don't actually watch much commercial television.

Sonia Kruger made derogatory comments in 2008 saying:

 "Let's just say there's a sweatshop full of illegal immigrants working on them right now,'' Kruger said before referring to Lim, the show's Malaysian-born musical director.

"How's the family, Chong? All right?'' 

The station apologized without reservation for her offensive comments.



 It seems she may have learn her lesson about trivializing the plight of sweatshop workers and immigrants, but unfortunately she has turned her attention to religious discrimination.
 Sonia Kruger has called for the scrapping of the Australian constitution and the ban of Muslims entering Australia. She wants our country to do this because she is frightened of tourism. her uneducated comments were apparently inspired by an Andrew Bolt article, she might fell better if she didn't read that anymore and got her news from more respectable sources.



 For those who are lucky enough to not know who Andrew Bolt is, he is a radical right commentator who has widely been criticized for quoting leaked  intelligence documents, being a stolen generation denier, publicly defaming a female magistrate, racial discrimination against Aboriginal Australians, and his homophobia.



 Back to Sonia Kruger, she has now added LGBT children to her list of enemy's. She has attacked the one scholarship that was designed for an LGBT year 10 student. She seemed to be implying that people can not make a person disadvantaged for being LGBT. With the recent attacks and neutering of the Safe Schools anti-bullying program it seems scholarships like this one are even more necessary. She seems visibly pained by the idea of a young LGBT person getting a fair go.
I do wonder if she is also against scholarships based on race, gender, or economics?
I am also left to wonder just how serious she is about opposing terrorism when she carries on in such a homophobic manner, has she so quickly forgotten the Orlando Pulse tragedy
No you really cant be both, you cant be against terrorism and for homophobia.


 I can speak from experience, at my high school i was forced to the deputy's office every morning and told i wasn't welcome at the school, i was told that i should leave. I spent many days in 'the room' (isolation cell) and was eventually refused a school certificate, at least in part due to my sexuality.



Can you guess which disadvantaged minority she will attack next?

 Some Statistics:
61% of LGBT youth experience homophobia.
18% of LGBT youth experience physical homophobic abuse. 
80% of Homophobic bullying of youth happens at school.
LGBT youth are three times more likely to experience depression due to the homophobia in our society.

Its Trash Day: Cory Bernardi

Its Trash Day: Cory Bernardi





 Cory Bernardi has a long and vocal history of homophobia. He denies he is a homophobic of course, i am not sure what definition he has invented in his head but he surely fits every definition of the word i have ever seen.



For those who don't know lets do a little history lesson of this radical far right politician and his extremist views;



Equal rights:
Bernardi shamefully opposed the 2008 same sex relationship equal treatment bill in the senate.
In 2012 Bernardi made the outrageous claim that marriage equality would somehow lead to bestiality.
Bernardi attacked what he termed "non-traditional families" in 2014, making the far fetched claim that they create criminal boys and promiscuous girls.
In 2016 he viciously attacked the safe schools coalition, a program designed to help schools reduce bullying and the lesson risks of youth suicide by creating a safe and inclusive environment.
Bernardi hypocritically advocated against a homophobic hate preacher, going so far as to say:
"At some point we will all have to confront the truth about where the inspiration for the hate speech comes from." It seemed the irony that he himself is a homophobic hate preacher was lost on him.
Most recently he has called on the government to break their election promise to have marriage equality vote before the end of the year, he went on to call equal rights a 'fringe issue'.



Refugees:
2011 Bernardi unbelievably claimed that Australia paying for the funerals of refuges seeking asylum in Australia was "wrong".



ABC:
Bernardi has called for a review into the ABC's funding, despite the fact the ABC at the time added to media diversity and was an important resource for regional Australians.
(the ABC was an independent government owned commercial free station)



Domestic violence:
in 2014 Cory Bernardi shockingly declared that 'There are times when it is appropriate for a man to put his partner in a headlock.'  
If that wasn't enough he has also directed others to a pro-rape blogger.




Conspiracy Theories:
* In 2007 he claimed that climate change was not caused by human activity.
* He has constantly insinuated, despite all evidence to the contrary, that allowing gay couples equal marriage rights would somehow harm children. 
* He makes the wild claim that Christianity is somehow under attack in Australia, despite a majority of politicians being Christian and Christianity being exempt from many anti-discrimination laws, and the freedom to practice religion being enshrined in our constitution.
* He is under the delusion that his views are "common sense" and that the majority of Australians support them.
* He has made the stunning claim that there is a major death industry that promotes abortion as a means of contraception despite any evidence of this industry existing.



 Of course these are not the only outrageous things he has said or done, he seems to be constantly attacking someone or against something, with single parent family's, foster families, non-Christians, blended families, non- married couples, dead refugees, women, moderate- Christians, the constitution, multiracial families, children, inter-generational households, and environmentalists, all drawing his ire at some point. 
 But he saves most of his hate for innocent LGBT Australians, who simply want the same human rights that he (has due to him being born straight), the same rights he selfishly guards from them.



 I am sure within a week there would be more to add to this incomplete list, but for the reasons listed here alone. 
 For the fact that he is a politician and should be responsible enough to educate himself on issues that he is ignorant in, before speaking out against them. 
 In my humble opinion, Cory Bernardi is trash.

  And for those brave souls who have their tin-foil hat securely fastened to their head and can stomach the complete lack of common sense you can always get this kind of rubbish straight from the bigots mouth, so to speak. 
No really that is legit his website, you have been warned. In fact i would recommend you go to the Cory Bernardi Makes Baby Jesus Cry facebook page instead.
