Breaking News: None of this is insulting...

Barnaby Joyce claims that no one has been insulted by the "debate" on equality.

 

 Barnaby Joyce who is unbelievably the deputy PM of Australia, has recently claimed that "I don't see anybody's been assaulted or killed, or even really insulted" as a result of the proposed plebiscite.

 Barnaby Joyce is the buffoon who threatened to kill Johnny Depp's puppys. The same person claimed that gay people shouldn't have equal rights because "everybody doesn't always get everything they want". He attacked the brave people who exposed the cruelty in the Australian wool industry for exposing the cruelty instead of addressing the actual cruelty.

 A bit of back story, the Plebiscite is a public vote on if gay people should have the same rights as straight people. The plebiscite isn't necessary and the current laws are unconstitutional. The vote would not be binding, the government will fund homophobia and hate speech in the lead up to the vote, and even if the vote passed the result wouldn't even grant equal marriage rights, it would entrench LGBT discrimination into law.

 Barnaby Joyce has said this dispute homophobes calling gay people Nazis knowing how offensive that is because the Nazis were persecuting gay men during the holocaust.

  This is despite homophobic flyers being distributed on car windshields and into innocent peoples letter boxes. These flyers were insulting to Nelsen Mandela, children, single parent families, foster families, blended families, and of course LGBT Australians, they were incredibly untruthful, off-topic and bigoted.

 He said this after people protesting an anti-bullying campaign have implied LGBT youth are pedophiles and called for them to be lynched. In addition to saying that supporters of equality should be killed.

 So there could be a few reasons for his demonstrably false comment.

1. He is incompetent, and has not followed the news, he did not check up on the facts before being interviewed. 

2.  He is aware of all this homophobic behavior but has such a low opinion of LGBT Australians that he doesn't consider any of this misinformation, threats of violence or vilification to be  insulting.

3. He is not being incompetent, he is putting his homophobia aside and he is choosing to lie the he Australian people.

 

 I don't think any of these possibility's are ideal for anyone holding a political position. We should expect more competence, respect and honesty from the leader of a political parry. That he is the deputy prime minister of Australia should be a concern to all decent Australians. He should apologise and resign immediately.

 Malcolm Turnbull who is also for the homophobic plebiscite but has falsely claimed the "debate" on equal rights would be civil and respectful. Mr. Turnbull has so far ignored all the hate speech and misinformation being spread by the anti-marriage homophobes. He has taken no action against those from within his party that re spreading this hate speech, even before the public funded gay vilification program officially begins.  

 Despite the fact that he has also said that Australia has no place for homophobia and that homophobia would not be tolerated in Australia, he has yet to stand up to the radical right in defense of Australians.
 Mr.Turnbull may be in a difficult position one one hand his party demands that they keep an election promise for once and vote on equality before the end of 2016, while on the other hand radical bigots within his party refuse to vote on marriage equality without the horrific plebiscite.
 At this stage it seems he ether needs to stand up to the rot within his party and vote for real marriage equality before the end of the year as promised or he needs to declare he has lost faith in his party's ability to govern and hand over the government. I am not sure how that would work in or system but he cant continue to do nothing.

 

ACL Leader equates equal rights movement with rise of Nazis.

 Hate Group Leader equates equal rights movement with rise of Nazis.

Lyle Shelton of the ACL hate group has linked the fight for gay rights to the rise of Nazis in Germany.

 The ACL (Australian "christian" lobby) is a hate group that is for bullying children and against LGBT rights. They are a group of lying, bigoted, hypocritical, anti- constitutional, homophobes.

 Those following the news may remember that these idiotic and insulting thoughts are not even his own, for when the ACL held there annual hate rally scorn was directed at the ACL for having a speaker that held those views. I did a post on it myself about my disgust that Scott Morrison our treasurer was attending the hate rally.

 So Lyle Sheldton has seen how offensive and inappropriate it is to liken gays to Nazis, he has seen the harm this caused and months later still decides that it is an appropriate thing to say.

 The fact that he had more than enough time to research the facts and still decided to mislead and vilify is disgusting. He has a responsibility to know better, and to do better.

 For the record, the Nazis were homophobic like the ACL, the Nazis persecuted an estimated 100,000 men during the Holocaust. The Nazis shut down gay groups, and destroyed literature on sexuality, not the gay men.It is the ACL and other bigots that want to shut down Safe Schools anti-bulling campaigns, not the gays. 
So bigots should really check themselves before comparing others (like  a group who were the victims of the holocaust) to the Nazis.

 Pot meet Kettle

 

 Lyle Sheldton went on to repeat some inflammatory nonsense about children being taken form a mother and father, and i just recently did a Bigot Point article debunking just such a claim. 

 Will Scott Morrison now denounce this hate group? Will the authorities finally declare this hate group a terrorist organization and shut them down? Will the ABC apologize for allowing him on the air like they have done with another radical extremist who was only in the audience and not an invited panelist?

 We all need to stand strong against these bigoted hate mongers. We need to be the guardians of what is good and right. We who choose to educate ourselves, so we don't say the opposite of what is truth, we need to oppose the spread of the kind of prejudice that the ACL encourage.
 Also if your Christian, these bigots are giving your religion and your god a very bad name, let your church know you support equality as well as your government.
 Contact Scott Morrison demand he denounce the ACL.
 Contact the ABC and demand they apologize for airing this radical extremists hate speech.

 Luckily we have a means to do so in the upcoming election. Contact your local candidates find out if they are homophobic and if they are tell them they do not have your vote.

Vote for equality this election.

 Again i wonder why these people don't overcome there harmful prejudices and try to do some good. Perhaps the ACL should appoint a leader that at least will follow the 10 commandments, i am especially thinking of the one about not bearing false witness.   
 But a leader with even passing knowledge of the bible might help the organization avoid such humiliation in the future.

'There are six things that the LORD strongly dislikes, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.'

                                                                                                                  Proverbs 6:16–19

When the government endorses bigotry.

Scott Morrison supports the ACL

 You will remember Scott Morrison from when he was immigration minister.

He was asked in an ABC interview:

" Three days ago an Indian student took his own life at a detention centre in Melbourne. He was in that centre because he overstayed his visa. Could that have been avoided?"

Scott Morrison smugly answered:

" Could he have avoided overstaying his visa?"

The ACL (Australian "christian" lobby) is a hate group that is for bullying children and against LGBT rights. They are a group of lying, bigoted, hypocritical, anti- constitutional, homophobes.

Scott Morrison attended and spoke at the ACL's annual hate group meeting, despite the fact he is Australia's current treasurer.

Scott Morrison has defended his endorsement at this hate rally by saying:

 "I respect everybody's opinions, I just hope and wish others would do the same,"

 Which is ironic considering he was speaking at the ACL hate group who are against equal rights, children and the Australian constitution.

One of the views he respects is the claim (by Eric Metaxas) that the recognizing of  equal rights is somehow like the rise of the Nazis in Germany. As you will be aware comments like that are extremely offensive as it was the Nazis who were homophobic. With the Nazis persecuting over 50,000 gay people during the Holocaust. For the ACL to associate such victims with their Nazis oppressors is disgusting and an opinion that should not ever be respected.

 To the best of my knowledge Scott Morrison has not been charged, he has not even been disciplined by the Prime Minister. He was promoted to the Treasurer of the Australian government after his behavior as immigration minister, one can only hope that common sense prevails and the PM at least distances himself and his party from this homophobia and bigotry.
