Things are looking slightly better as far as marriage equality goes, with the new leader of the Labor party Kevin Rudd taking the helm, agreeing with gay marriage. But his sister is entirely another story.....
Think we should all be very thankful that his sister isn't in any sort of position of political power in Australia. She has views that are extreme to say the least, right up there with any sort of right wing wacko stuff that comes out of the evangelical fundamentalists. This is the first time I've heard anyone in the west say anything like this:
Loree Rudd - who says she is unlikely to help her brother on election day because she opposes his support for gay marriage - believes the maverick Russian leader's hardline view on homosexuality is more enlightened than Western leaders.
"It's like he (Putin) can see the problem ahead," Ms Rudd, 62, who has just returned from a visit to Russia, said.
"I think that there should be a law (in Australia) protecting children from the propaganda of homosexuality as normal. They're trying to build their family life and structure in Russia and people in the West don't seem to understand our family life and structures are breaking down.
"I guess the bottom line, if there's one thing I can say that can't be challenged, it's that society needs to protect its children as best they can." Read moreFuck! That's unbelievable. She's saying that being gay is abnormal, and that people who say it is are wrong. Then she infers that family life doesn't include gays when she says Russia is "trying to build their family life".
Then WTF is she on about saying that our family life is breaking down? Maybe the "family" that she defines as such is (2 kids, mum and dad). Perhaps she considers that solo parents with kids aren't a family as well? I think it goes without saying that she must assume that gay parents don't fit into her definition of "family" either. What a fuckin anachronistic load of fuckin shit.
Hey Loree, you do realise that gay people are reading your vile comments don't you? Gay people with families. You know, like Penny Wong and her partner, last year had a child together, now leader of the federal senate. You call that families and structures "breaking down"? The only thing breaking down darling is your world view as society leaves it behind.
*sheesh*
