A month of hate

This was appalling, shocking, disgusting, vile. 

  

And they wonder why many gays despise Christianity. I'm sick of hearing that these are "isolated incidents", or that they're not speaking for the majority of Christians. Well why don't the majority of Christians do something about it then? Why does it have to be left to members of the demonised minority itself to protest? Why isn't even the gov over there stepping in and prosecuting people (as would likely happen here is such cases) for inciting hatred against a minority?

These people are on the internet. That means they're not only saying it to their brain dead congregations, but they're saying it to the world.

In NSW it is generally against the law to vilify people because of their:

race, colour, nationality, descent, ethnic, ethno-religious or national origin;

homosexuality (lesbian or gay);

HIV or AIDS status; or

transgender status.

This includes vilification because someone is thought to be lesbian, gay or transgender even if they are not, or thought to have HIV or AIDS, even if they don’t.

NSW anti-discrimination law defines vilification as a public act that could incite or encourage hatred, serious contempt or severe ridicule towards people because of the above characteristics.

The vilification law only covers acts that are in public. It does not cover acts that are not public, for example abuse over a back fence that no-one else can hear.

Public acts could include the following:

remarks in a newspaper, journal or other publications;

remarks on radio or television;

material on the internet, including social networking sites such as Facebook and micro-blogging services such as Twitter;

graffiti;

putting up posters or stickers;

verbal abuse;

making speeches or statements;

making gestures; or

wearing badges or clothes with slogans on them.
