Loony Fundie Nonsense for the Masses
« Lordi! Lordi! Lordi! | Main | Wordy Crappinghood »
Australia: The Australian Prime Minister has never dealt well with questions from non-tame sources, as was recently proven at a Dublin University when one student challenged John Howard to defend his efforts to entrench homophobia in Australia.
The Prime Minister John Howard has described people campaigning for gay marriage as fundamentalists.
Mr Howard says it is not discrimination to deny gay men and lesbians equal marriage status with heterosexual couples...
...Mr Howard replied that his Government had remedied much of the financial discrimination, but said most Australians do not want gay couples to have equivalent status.
According to John Howard it's all fine and dandy for him to discriminate against people based on their sexuality due to his fantasy that everyone else agrees with him. That sounds suspiciously like the turn of phrase all loony fundies use to justify their small-minded prejudices.

A comment on the LiveJournal feed of this article notes that it was University College Dublin, and that the students gave him a really hard time.

Joy! I hear he's copping a bit of stick from some Irish MPs over being a racist, a warmonger and a thief.
There's a little bit more on the backlash from Howard's University College faux pas via queerplanet.

Goddamn non-core lying piece of crap waste of oxygen. I really wish there had been an election coming up when he last opened his lying mouth and said "marriage is just about children"...
This image sums it nicely
Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising
, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.
Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, I'm afraid you'll have to leave them out for now, as things are a little b0rked. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.

In today's subscriber only news, Crikey asked why, if Howard believes that Australians don't support gay marriage, he doesn't mention it when he's at home?
