Let me unpick the absurd claims of Binary, Biology Matters, Australian Christian Lobby, LGB Alliance, Rise Up and Women’s Forum Australia of what actual abuse looks like.
Has some one threatened you with violence or death? Were you made homeless by your family? Were you denied the access to services or education or healthcare? Did you loose your job? Do you have the police ignore your murder? All because because you were heterosexual? No? I thought not.
Do you even realise what it took us fags, dykes, queers and trans folks to get even get close to having a seat at the table of legal equality? We marched, rioted, lobbied, voted, protested, wrote letters, campaigned and do you know what we got in return? We were beaten, arrested, imprisoned, shot at, sent to death camps, murdered. People actually died so I could write this statement right now. And what do you do? Not even a thank you. You moan that we LGBTQ people have special rights, that you are loosing out.
Well sorry, us queers have no time for that.
