Excuse my parochialism, but this is about an Australian contestant on an Australian cooking competition show, so feel free to skip if you've no interest in TV Down Under...

A favourite to win this year's Masterchef season, has had anti-gay comments he made 6 years ago, come to light in the media... saying that homosexuality is a mental illness & that gay people should be captured & put on an island, so the freaks can go fuck themselves

And just like that, L-SP & I have switched our allegiance to another contestant. We're also pleased we never went to this guy's restaurant & now never will. It's good to know that our AUD$300 can be better spent elsewhere

Of course, he's remorseful & says he was young & stupid when he made the comments... but I'm pretty sure he's just remorseful he's been found out. Especially since he's on the show competing against at least 3 gay people...

* Unless something even worse happens...

What has happened is all too predictable. When you have a Commander-In-Chief who spouts racist & sexist rhetoric, as well as practising & defending it, who not only gets away with it, but revels in his impunity, then it's only a matter of not-much time before his supporters/disciples/fanclub/mindless masses begin to act the same way - because, after all, if it's good enough for the Boss, it's good enough for them. Right?

Right. In fact... far-right

Exhibit A

Oh America... we will miss you

Sorry for the radio silence over the last few months... I've fallen out of love with talking about myself & my life in general


However, I'll never get tired of talking about things like this... the relics of a bygone era who continue to poison the education & opinions of the modern world

For the-god-of-your-choice's sake... or for no god's sake at all if you prefer, I wish some people would either grow up or shut up. No other options are available

That goes for you too:~ Fred Nile, Alan Jones, Ray Hadley, John Laws, the entire 'Family First' political party, Clive Palmer, the entire US Republican party, Rupert Murdoch, Cardinal George Pell... you can take over from here, I'm sure
