OUTRAGE MISPLACED

Jeremy Sear, a straight white middle-class boy who enjoys computer games, loves cats and is fussy about sweets, continues his brave campaign on behalf of gay people who want to get married and are "sick of being seen and treated as second-class citizens":

Nor is it just homosexuals who are “outraged” by the injustice…

And it’s a pity that the present Prime Minister continues to side with these cretins and their indefensibly weak “arguments” for bigotry, condemning gays and lesbians to a few more years of unnecessary suffering until the pointless, stupid discrimination ends…. idiotic… cruel… appalling…

With so much suffering and cruelty happening, you’d expect gays to be even more outraged about this than their self-appointed saviour. But no. Here’s Jane Black in last week’s Age:

I did the rounds of my gay friends to see who would come with me to the gay marriage march on Saturday. One was working, another hungover, another playing tennis, and my last resort was at the movies.

According to Jeremy, gay marriage is “the most important civil rights fight of our generation.” But actual gays would rather play tennis. Beats hanging out with boring straight guys.
