One day soon this “debate” will be over. Hopefully a healthy kind of justice will prevail. I did that dumb thing of getting embroiled in the comments again, and wrote this:

Oh Malcolm Turnbull.. i hope Australia remembers the hell you unleashed on LGBTQ+ communities. I hope Australia remembers when you gave people like this (name) ‘character’ a license to spout their medieval and prejudiced viewpoints, when you declared that it was okay for people to share their intolerance of other people in public.

I also truly hope Australia recovers and gains some maturity from this disgraceful episode when you Malcolm Turnbull allowed hate speech to flourish for a simple case of political expediency.

Right now i’m hoping that the progressive forces of love and creativity will rise; the pendulum will swing back toward justice, inclusion and genuine healing.

I’m imagining a future where queer people of all kinds can walk safely down the street in public, in broad daylight or in the dark of night, hand in hand and unafraid, and Get Married If They Want To.

A future where these intolerant viewpoints have withered like dust and blown away. Where spiritual knowledge is based on experience rather than misinterpretations of an ancient text.

A future where everyone is valued for their strength and heart, for their humanity
