National Day of Action! - Abbott challenge

The LGBT are mobilising darlings! We've already had enough of this asshole Abbott, and whatever happens we need to take to the streets and yell about it! Vent our anger at this prick who dares to claim to represent us.

This prick, using our public money which includes all money paid by LGBT people, to slap us in the face with a court challenge to take away recognition of who we love. This asshole who lies to us, saying he's rushing to do it so we won't be hurt. This asshole that won't even support his own sister in her relationship with the woman she loves. Enough!

If you're as angry as we are, write down on your calendar Sat Nov 23rd.

The planned protests come as almost 25,000 people have signed a petition organised by LGBTI advocacy group All Out calling on Prime Minister Tony Abbott to stop his moves to block state or territory-based same-sex marriage laws through action in the High Court. 

All Out’s lead Australian campaigner, Hayley Conway, said Abbott should not stand in the way of progress.

“If he continues to stand against loving Australian couples and their children, history will leave him behind,” Conway said. 

“Equality is in Australia’s future, whether Abbott is part of the future or part of the past is up to him.” 

INFO: Protests commence at 1pm (local time) at all locations on November 23

I feel like this thing with Abbott's high court challenge is maybe like a last straw? Would straight people cop this sort of treatment just because they were straight? Why should we be treated like fuckwits by the PM, our PM using the church (ie his "convictions") to try and block us at every stage, just because we're LGBT? 

Why should we have to perform legal gymnastics via state based marriage equality laws just for our relationships to be recognised by our own country? And to have our own PM block us just when there's a little ray of rainbow coming out of the ACT is absolutely unforgivable. Whoever votes for you next time Abbott it won't be us, or our friends.

Yes folks, we're as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!   (pun intended)

David is coming with me. He's not usually into politics at all and hates even talking about it. But he's going to this.
