The slippery slope to homophobia

Seen this way, blaming gay Australians for some hypothetical slippery slope to multiple-partner marriages is even worse than blaming heterosexuals for wife burning and infanticide.

It brings back the crushing stereotypes that have so devastated the lives of gay people in the past.

What we’re seeing here is the re-emergence of public homophobia in a new but no less damaging form.

That is why every Australian who cares about a respectful, unprejudiced public discourse must take a stand against this new fear campaign.
