The horror!
A boy was told he “could wear a dress next year if he felt like.’
What’s the world coming to?!
Mothers appear to have become a key weapon in the campaign to promote the ‘no’ vote in the upcoming postal plebiscite on marriage equality, with the first television ad in the campaign airing last night.
A least three mothers, that is.
Unfortunately for the ‘no’ campaign – of which the best advertising agencies in the country have refused to work with – the ad falls particularly flat. Possibly because it’s suggesting the vote is about something other than a vote for equality in enabling same-sex couples to marry.
The ad carries the line that “in countries with gay marriage parents have lost their right to choose,” following a mother’s plea that, “when same-sex marriage passes as law overseas, these types of programs become widespread and compulsory.”
Err, what?
That’s it?
