A PROTEST is planned against Margaret Court’s appearance at a Liberal Party fundraiser this week.
Just weeks after Court’s inflammatory comments about the LGBTI community, she has been asked to be a guest speaker at a Liberal Party fundraiser in Melbourne this Thursday evening for the party’s Sandringham branch, and candidate for the seat at next year’s election Brad Rowswell.
Organised by activist group Equal Love, the protest is expected to draw hundreds standing against Court’s comments and inclusion at the event.
“It is abhorrent that Court should be invited as a guest speaker at any event, especially a fundraiser for the Liberal Party’s Sandringham branch and candidate for the seat at the next year’s election, Brad Rowswell,” said organisers.
“It is appalling that following Court’s recent public comments that… Victoria’s opposition leader Matthew Guy or the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull have not recommended her withdrawal.
“Equal Love encourage all who are concerned about this hateful bigotry being given yet another opportunity to publicly insult and degrade people of our community [to join] us to protest Court and to send a strong message to the Liberal Coalition Government that endorsing bigotry is disgraceful and not reflective of the views of the majority of Australians and Christians.”
Seems like some christians like Margaret Court are “frozen” in their hearts towards the gay community, I dont believe the religious heaven and hell propaganda, but she would be going to hell easily for no compassion and unconditional love if there was such a fictional place…LOL
The Liberal Party really don’t want to win any elections do they?
They should keep homophobes and bigots like Maggie Court, a hate-filled self-styled minister in some religious business as far away as possible. They should enforce the Principle of “The Division of State and Church (Religion).
Our GLTBIQ Community is large and we can influence the outcome of any election. Inviting this homophobic bigot will only turn hitherto Liberal voters away. Unfortunately the Liberal Party as founded by Bob Menzies is in the process of being taken over by a bunch of red-neck bigots and homophobes led by Failed PM Tony Abbott. He wants to turn it into a fascist – some would say nazi-style party and we all know what the fascists did to members of our Community; They exterminated us.
Margaret Court is an anti-christ in the christian faith, she is an embarassment to australia who probably has connections to religious dogma in other countries like america…
