I could not agree more!

You do not help the Conservative cause by expecting the Victim of the vile attack to receive further attacks.

Now I think clearly the Mr and Mrs Andrews has a history with people who are not white and who might have a different sexuality.

I see no reason why Ben Law should subject himself to further hate. A full page apology by the Liberal Party is what is needed in all major newspapers.

This behavior by a Liberal Party Politician’s wife has from what I can see, and according to talk back radio, left many people rightfully outraged.

Benjamin Law was too soft on the likes of Andrews. The gay community needs to be ruthless towards Tories – otherwise we just get stepped on.

The difference between Dave and Margaret Andrews is that Ms Andrews is relatively well-known and the wife of a politician. Of course she has the right to be as ignorant and prejudiced as she likes but don’t then attack someone for criticising her. She deserves to be publicly shamed for her bigotry if she did, in fact, make the statements that Ben Law claims she did.

If a politician in Australia is married to someone who thinks the parents of gay people should be ashamed of them then, as a voter, I want to know. Even if I was ever ready to vote for the coalition, I would simply never vote for someone who was such a bigot, or who married such a bigot. Like it or not, a politician’s wife having a homophobic rant at a gay author is news-worthy. No one’s saying she had no right to make the comments but it’s everyone else’s right to shame her for them.

If her comments had been against interracial marriage and interracial families, no one would be defending her, even though the exact same arguments were once proposed by people just like her. One day, a few generations from now, Australians will look back, completely ashamed of our treatment of gays, in the way so many now feel about historical treatment of racial minorities.

Now I think blaming the victim of that torrent of abuse is the act of total coward. I think to try and put the spin ‘Two wrongs don’t make a right’ is equally repugnant and abhorrent. To justify homophobic and racist acts by blaming the victim is an act of a Nazi in my view. It was after all the Nazi’s who blamed people who were Jewish for being Jewish, and blamed GLBTQI people for being the way they are before killing them.

Yes the Extreme Right or “the down trodden” are not for me. I think they foul the air good people breathe with such vile acts of hate.

Perhaps the “down trodden” might care to think a bit if they have that capacity before putting spin on what I think are acts of hate.

This is evidence that leaders in the heterosexual community still consider the existance of gays and reports of our existance as a disgusting thing and an attack upon their families.

Our existance and reports of our existance are an attack upon heterosexual families.

We are always only one step away from being rounded up and imprisoned in concentration camps – to protect heterosexual society.

Perhaps she would feel more comfortable at a Klu Klux Klan gathering then a civilized conference.
