The gov has given yet another platform to the bigots and extremist religious to vent their hatred at us LGBT, albeit it likely will be short lived facing a High Court challenge. The postal plebiscite (or in reality the postal survey) yet again opens the door to extremist bigots putting their lies and innuendo in the public sphere like it's the truth. They're cashed up and ready for a fight.
They will say all manner of lies about us the longer this process goes on. That marriage is about children, who do better in hetro relationships. That the freedom to practice religion will be destroyed by marriage equality. That the LGBT bombed the headquarters of the Australian Christian Lobby. That the freedom to be a bigot will no longer exist (the humanity!). That freedom of speech will no longer exist. That the LGBT have worse mental health problems so why should they have kids, victim blaming us for the effects of their discrimination. That children will be taught the Safe Schools anti-bullying program (the humanity!). And on and on in a never ending stream of drivel, lies, half truths, innuendo and bile.
