Only a few years ago, virtually everyone rejected the concept of homosexual marriage. Even liberals like Barack Obama and Shrillary Clinton opposed it. Now, not to embrace it is a thought crime that will subject you to outrageous abuse — as farmer and former Australian Liberty Alliance Party senate candidate Kirralie Smith learned after posting a picture of herself with a postal ballot indicating that she is not voting in favor of instituting gay marriage in Australia:
‘Your [sic] still a slag and I hope you get aids [sic]’ wrote one Facebook user.
‘I also hope you get hit by a bus! Or if you have children, that one of them is gay. You have the right to your opinion but not to post photos of it. You are a stupid c***.,’ read another message. …
In addition to the hateful messages, insults and death threats, some social media users even sent offensive images.
One such image is from a hardcore pornographic film and depicts two men involved in a sex act.
‘You’re a piece of s***,’ ‘I really hope you get hit by a bus,’ ‘You need a bullet,’ and ‘I wish nothing but bad for you and your family,’ are some of the other messages.
Ms Smith was told to ‘Eat a d***,’ called a ‘homophobic b****,’ a ‘nasty nasty cow,’ a ‘f***wit,’ and told to ‘Rot in hell.’
Anyone suspected of voting no on a postal survey asking whether the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry is subject to abuse. It often gets physical:
Last week a priest was spat at while walking down the street in Brisbane and called ‘a f***ing no voter’.
After former prime minister Tony Abbott was headbutted by an anarchist DJ wearing a Yes badge, activists started using ‘Headbutt homophobes’ banners at rallies. …
Students at the University of Sydney clashed when a ‘no’ campaign rally turned violent after ‘yes’ campaign counter-protesters turned up. …
A Coalition for Marriage event was disrupted by protesters who stormed the venue and blocked the stage with a banner saying ‘Burn churches not queers’.
Those who resist can have their livelihood targeted, so as to make them into examples to scare others into line:
A Canberra woman was fired for saying ‘It’s okay to vote no’ on Facebook, with her boss Madlin Sims calling it ‘homophobic hate speech’.
Dr Pansy Lai – who appeared in the first Coalition of Marriage advertisement – was targeted by a petition seeking to have her stripped of her medical licence.
Thuggery often works. Polls indicate that homosexual marriage will get a thumbs-up from the survey. Legislation will follow. Christian churches will likely be forced to engage in blasphemy.
‘Sometimes find myself wondering if I’d hate-f**k all the anti-gay MPs in parliament if it meant they got the homophobia out of their system,’ wrote openly-gay comedian and Safe Schools author Benjamin Law to his 77,000 Twitter followers.
Benjamin Law is who wins when conservatives lose the Culture War. That’s who shapes the future.
