Noted hater Pauline Hanson has told us to shut the fuck up about marriage equality and please ‘think of the children’ in a tirade against gay marriage arguing that the Diggers sacrificed their lives so that gay people wouldn’t marry each other, which, sure, will forever be the most important motivating factor for the Australian armed forces in 1941 and just look it up if you don’t believe her.
The outspoken One Nation co-founder made the remarks in an interview with 2DayFM breakfast team Kyle and Jackie O, saying: “It’s wonderful that people have opinions and views on these things [gay marriage]
but the hard fact is, at the end of the day, someone’s got to pay the
price for all this. People have to understand what happened in the past
to discover this land; the Diggers that fought for us.”
People also have to understand that this is one of the most nefarious Straw Man Arguments ever and that Pauline Hanson should be ashamed of herself for invoking the Diggers to serve her own purposes.
But at least she’s not a bigot.
“What a person does behind their own closed doors is their own
business, but the fact is I don’t agree with gay marriages, or gays
adopting children, or in vitro fertilisation,” she continued. “And I have a lot of gay
friends that agree with me, and that’s my view on it.”
See guys? She isn’t homophobic at all. Just like this guy.
