There is nothing like waking up early Sunday morning to read a story about former premier of your country comparing a gay man to a paedophile. It really warms the cockles of my heart.
Here's the story:
FORMER state premier Jeff Kennett has provoked a gay rights storm by backing a football club that sacked a trainer for being gay. The Hawthorn president and potential Melbourne lord mayor sparked calls for his sacking after saying Bonnie Doon Football Club was within its rights to sack veteran trainer Ken Campagnolo after it found out he was gay.
"The club felt that once this had been pointed out and you had this gentleman there who was obviously close to young men - massaging young men - it ran an unnecessary risk and that's why it decided it was best that he not perform those duties again. So the club was trying to do the right thing," Mr Kennett said.
"When you are in charge of a group of young boys, as this club was as I understand it, it's got to make sure."
Mr Kennett said it was as if the club had a pedophile trainer.
"It's the same if you have a pedophile there as a masseur, right?"
"And you might say the pedophile would do no damage, but once it was pointed out to you, you have a duty of care to those underage children not to put them in a situation of risk."
He could not guarantee a gay trainer would be welcome at Hawthorn, adding: "I don't know if we've got any.
"I'm just saying at the moment we have a duty of care to our players and staff and you have to make judgments on that. If you don't do it you end up with potential legal liability."
Do you understand yet? Even though the masseuse is a trained professional who worked for the club and performed his duties over 678 games, he obviously can't be trusted around boys or men. Especially if he has to TOUCH them. We all know fags can't be around men without raping them. Because they are gay, so they are attracted to men. So therefore it's impossible for gay men to be around any men without being attracted to all of them at once. Ergo, you have to molest every man you touch in the vicinity of your hands. It must be tiring!
PROOF.
Oh i forgot to mention that the accused is an ex-soldier. That's just like the government, they'll happily take your service defending your country, your tax payments, your help fostering children, but just don't dare ask for equal treatment. OR ELSE.
He's gonna get ya, homos.
I would also like to point out that Mr Kennett is currently the head of Beyond Blue, a national depression organisation. When on Andrew Dentons 'Enough Rope' this is what he had to say about the organisation and why he got involved:
"I started advocating, about two years before we lost office in 1999, the need to establish nationally a body addressing depression in our society. My daughter had come to me and said - after two deaths of young men in the western district here in Victoria - "Dad, what are you gonna do to stop these deaths of young men?" When we looked at those two deaths, they weren't just car deaths, although they'd used their car, they were two young men who were so depressed they'd used their car to take their life. You've got to understand, one in five will suffer from depression at some stage in life - 800,000, in any one year, Australians. And, sadly, seven people every day are taking their own lives in Australia - more than twice the road trauma"
The hypocrisy ASTOUNDS. I'm as shocked right now as i would be if Britney Spears won a mother of the year award. A recenty study in Australia found that suicide is the leading cause of death among gay male, lesbian, bisexual and transexual youth. Gay males were six times more likely to make an attempt than heterosexual males. A majority of the suicide attempts took place at age 20 or younger, with nearly one-third occuring before age 17.
So what better way for the chairman of a depression organisation, concerned about suicide of young men to act. Make it evident to those young men that not only are they not welcome in the football arena in any shape or form, but they are in fact the equivalent of paedophiles.
If he's looking to drum up some more business for Beyond Blue, he's going about it the right way.
Oh, also - who is going to tell all of those women massage therapists and physiotherapists that they can no longer work in the football industry? Women are attracted to men, therefore they obviously can't do a job that involves touching them.
MAKES SENSE.
Do you think they surrounded her with as much new technology and 'young people' items to try and sub-consciously convince the readers that McCain isn't as old and out of touch as we know he is? I think so. And i'm always right.
