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.
