so peter madden is a well know dipshit who is our resident homophobe and generally tries to vilify the queer community and bring the kids into it. this time he thought he'd drive around with a gay hate bus and have a prayer protest against equal marriage rights before the queensland elections(good luck to him). i think it is queensland that has the highest rate of homophobia in australia. just wondering what you all thought of the reaction though. the protest gives me small satisfaction, the vandalism to his billboard gave me a giggle. apparently he is coming to sydney to do the same again. this is what i mean by again:

i actually thought the video was hilarious but still disgusting. we protested this last time and i hope we do it again.
if you dont already hate him then this is his webpage:

Just as homosexuals are fighting for their rights and are on the eve of winning, so too shall we fight for ours and win as well.

Recently I have been hearing nothing but bad about Australia- Homophobia, Islamophobia, and probably when our movements becomes larger there will be autistophobia/asperphobia too in Australia.

So what is Australia's problem???

We have an agenda? Makes me feel like Dr Evil

If you approve of criminal damage in support of your cause, no matter how just you may think it, other people will use it - or worse - to downplay their own criminal activities.

Stupid behaviour, even though you might heartily disagree with the man's politics.

Ahhh, the slippery slope fallacy.

Aside from his poor use of logic I found his comments about marriage as a historical tradition to be interesting. Not all societies have had marriage the way it is characterized now and not all societies practiced monogamy. Then there were those in which young children were married for political/economic reasons. I don't know if he's being intentionally misleading or if he's really that clueless when he talks about marriage as a timeless institution. It really has changed a lot over time; the Western concept of marriage for love is also a fairly recent development.

Peter Madden needs to come out of the closet already.

VMSmith, you call yourself a Marxist-Leninist. You do realize that for decades communists of almost all stripes opposed LGBT rights, don't you? With the exception of the Eurocommunist tendency, communist parties didn't begin to support LGBT rights until the '90s.

yes astrogeek, i am aware of this. marx himself said some downright homophobic things and, as sherry wolf says, you cannot polish a turd. and while many didnt support queer lib there were a bunch of them that did including mine(well its predecessor organisation anyhow.) that being said marxist writers did have a lot to say about sexuality and sexual practices and where they were lacking in theory modern marxists make up for that using marxist writting on the family and extrapolating it. take engles statement for example:
The Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State:

That piece of vandalism is beautiful,, but nowhere near as beautiful as a headline stating that Pete Madden had be busted trolling for c**k in a public restroom would be.
