ANZAC Day, NOT ANZAC Gay!

Aussies should be grateful for that guy who’s getting abused by all the worst elements in Australia. Just a pity he didn’t stick to his guns. He has nothing to say sorry for.
THE head of the Australian Christian Lobby says outrage over a claim that Australian soldiers didn’t fight for gay marriage is down to “misinterpretation”. Earlier today ACL managing director Jim Wallace said on Twitter:”Just hope that as we remember Servicemen and women today we remember the Australia they fought for — wasn’t gay marriage and Islamic!”
He should never have apologised. He told the truth about how those who sacrificed so much would feel.
Contrast the degenerates’ uproar with their reluctance to back off from the foul pervert insult to the war dead described below.
Gay Anzac ad outrage
ANGRY … Protective Services Officer Martin Stevens is offended by the unauthorised use of his image to promote a gay party.
AN advertisement for a gay Anzac Day party that shows a near-naked man wearing a slouch hat has been branded a “desecration” of the Anzac spirit.
Martin Stevens, who has worked as a Shrine of Remembrance guard for eight years, said yesterday he was horrified to discover he had become the unwitting star of an ad for an Anzac Day eve bash at the Peel Hotel in Collingwood. The ad was published in gay magazines and on the venue’s website.
“I saw my face and next to it there’s a near-naked bloke in an army hat,” Mr Stevens said. “I was just horrified. It’s insulting to the diggers and it’s just plain wrong.”
Victorian RSL president David McLachlan said the ad, which includes an image of the Rising Sun army badge, was an abuse of liberty. “This is a desecration of the Anzac Day memory and the Shrine of Remembrance, which represents the sacrifice of so many Victorians,” he said.
A spokesman for the hotel, Tom McFeely, said management now realised the ad was in poor taste and had removed it from the venue’s website. “I also delivered a hand-written apology to the RSL yesterday and we have made a donation to the Shrine fund,” Mr McFeely said.
But he felt the issue had attracted more attention because the ad was for a gay event. “We have actually had some calls of support from some serving officers.” The RSL also lashed out at Melbourne fetish store Eagle Leather, which until yesterday had a window display showing mannequins dressed in bondage-style army gear and a large sign reading “Lest We Forget”.
Mr McLachlan said using Anzac Day to promote sex toys was despicable. Eagle Leather owner Brian Mier said he removed the Anzac “tribute” from his bondage shop window after hearing about the the Peel Hotel furore.
Before selling sex toys, latex and army fetish ware, Mr Mier was in the army for 13 years. He said his Hoddle St shop display was intended to be a respectful gesture to the Diggers.
“But in retrospect I can see that it may have been insensitive, so I removed it,” he said. The Australian adult retail and entertainment association, Eros, defended the advertising campaigns, saying retailers had a right to use Anzac Day to promote the sale of sex toys.
“In a sense the Diggers fought for our sexual freedom,” Eros CEO Fiona Patten said.
Did they hell. They fought so that decent, patriotic, non-pervert Aussies could look forward to a future which has turned out to be a tragic travesty of their hopes.

So in your opinion, Anzac’s voted for aboriginals not being allowed to vote. Hard to believe such nonsense: World War I and II veterans fought for an Australia that didn’t give Aborigines the right to vote, a nation that also discriminated against women in a way that is no longer acceptable.
They fought for a country that gave British courts the ultimate authority over our laws, which is now an antiquated notion. Women had voting rights in this country only a decade before World War I broke out. I could go on. The nature of Australia is very different today from the past.
But that is the country they fought for..but what they really achieved was a progressive, moving country that fortunately moves myopic views like this to the fringes where they belong

G’day, Ryan!
Rather a convoluted comment, if I may say so.
But the gist of it seems to be that either the ANZAC men fought for a ‘wicked old reactionary’ Australia, or they had some subconscious vision of a multicult PC paradise which would arise on their sacrifices.
Logic tells us they fought for the country they knew and loved. It’s absurd to say otherwise.
I can’t for a moment believe they’d be delighted if they looked down from their Elsysian Fields today and saw that weird Aboriginal flag flying all over the place, or heard those silly ‘atonement’ speeches which seem to precede every public event in Oz nowadays.
Nor would they be impressed at ‘gay’ rights nonsense, nor about the multicultism imposed without a referendum, nor about the obsequious pandering to undesirable asylum-seekers, so-called.
Of course I may be wrong.
And this is no jibe at Aussie. Canada is just about as far down the tube, and the Mother Country…OMG!

I saw this on the old blog – maybe that’s why you were ‘sabotaged.’
Thanks for defending ANZAC Day. It matters to a lot of people.

kinda reminds me of historian Mr David Irving’s comment in, i think it was, Hitler’s War……..if the British soldiers on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 could have looked forward to the end of the century and seen what their country had become, they wouldn’t have bothered to advance forty yeards!

Fair comment. And glad to have your comments, jimbo.
A slightly different style than most, but welcome all the more, for that very reason!
