He’s a “crusader for human freedoms”. Everyone be cool.
Fred Nile, everyone’s favourite bigoted homophobe and elected official, has put out a media release in time for Mardi Gras.
Just in case you had ever been left in any doubt what he thought about it.
The media release, entitled ‘Indecent Exposure of Parading Adults’, reads:
“Having served for over 34 years in the NSW Parliament and outspoken yearly about the immoral essence of the Homosexual and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the Rev. Fred Nile, Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, wants to set the record straight!
“I am a crusader for human freedoms and family values governed by traditional Judeo-Christian values. It is wrong when freedoms are exploited and test our laws. This is evident annually in the Homosexual and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
[Yeah, come on, LBGTQI community. Can you stop exploiting all your freedoms? You know, those freedoms you have.
Not the freedom to get married or any of that family equality business, or anything.
But your other freedoms. All of them.
The media release continues:]
“Almost naked adults luridly imposing their sexuality to spectating, innocent children should be illegal as, according to our laws, is indecent exposure,” said Rev. Nile.
