Mr Folau’s earlier criticised social media post had paraphrased a Bible passage saying"drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters" would go to hell unless they repented.He is seeking $10 million in damages from Rugby Australia and wants his multi-million dollar contract re-instated.
On Wednesday, Ms Szubanski told SBS News the initiative was meant to be a non-combative response to the Folau saga. Magda Szubanski is seen at a marriage equality rally in South Melbourne in Melbourne, Sunday, September 17, 2017.Ms Szubanksi was a prominent advocate during the campaign to legalise same-sex marriage in Australia.
Israel need to grow stuff religion gays are in our community
To little to late, just paying lip service,to try and look better than he is.
But it’s ok to do it under the guise of religion. This man baffles me.
People like this shouldn't have a voice
Wearing two jumpers omg ..
Who else but IzzyFolau would do something like this! God bless him.
The man has class.
Too little too late Folau.
The cynic in me suggests that someone else thought coming to Magda’s aid would be a good idea in the current situation Izzy finds himself in 🤔
hold my beer!!
Us atheists going to hell too. WTF did we do to anyone?
Says the master of online hate
'Gay rights activist depending on your politics' Magda Szubanski
What a shame she couldn't see past her nose to support him.
Now you're talking sense, buddy boy!☺️👌
‘She’ received personal attacks? Puhleese - the left couldn’t care about folau being piled on ...or others. Magda entered the debate dishing out sanctimonious left Gay mindset ...then liked a tweet that ridiculed/vilified a young Conservative Gay - peak HYPOCRITE 👎 Boo hoo.
That he started haha folaugreed
At 1st glance, I liked this comment by Folau. Easy for me, I have no direct skin in the game. At 2nd glance, I remembered that gay people are being asked to *civilly* debate whether or not they will burn eternally in hell if they don’t renounce their own gayness, their own selves
The guy is confused. Confused and conflicted. Should I hate gays and lesbians or should I be kind and compassionate. Should I judge or not judge. He has no idea.
Publicity stunt or wise legal move for his upcoming battle with rugby Australia?
No mention of Marcia Langton's homophobic comments? Funny that. That is what started the backlash against Magda kennyonmedia
Good timing ......
Life is stupid
A stunt to garner sympathy and support. In his mind and ethos and the ethos of his religion Magda still ends up in hill.
Good man.
SBS He certainly works in mysterious ways.
What a hypocrite
SBS Great example of what selfishness does and others it hurts
Magda did a fair bit of attacking herself.
It shows what a gentleman he is. Then we have these low-life wankers who would deny him his religion because of a sport. Why? corruption and money are their God.
Turn him OFF
Turning the other cheek...
This is why nobody takes SBS seriously. Perhaps the Muslim Chairman of SBS would like to comment, we'd all love to bec entertained by his thoughts.
I see no problem with Israel Folau coming to the defence of Magda Szubanski and her right to express an opinion. But, at the same time, respect by Magda and her supporters, must also be given to Christians, like Israel and his supporters, who are in the PUBLIC SQUARE as well.
Monster_Dome Lol! She endorsed an attack on my sexuality because I dared disagree.
nyunggai True gentleman...
Good on him, but how is his original post not an attack on all gay people? This is just an example of the consequences of the original attack not really being to the originators liking! Free speech often has consequences!
Doesn't want her attacked now because is certain the devil will attack her for eternity.
nyunggai Who remembers when Magda called for the murder of cyclists. Since than 350 cyclists have been killed
Monster_Dome That's better.
he enabled the hate - shitfull sham of a man
You know LGBT is getting on the nose when Christians preachers get more likes then the actual pride parades. UNSTOPPABLE
We have to remember the plebiscite on SSM was meant to be non binding, Australia was conned under turncoat Turnbull he has secured himself a one way ticket to hell. Christians were highly abused and censored.
Christians are so cool. Do you believe in miracles?
This is how it erupts and evolves into a hatred campaign against gays. Whose to blame? Do we blame God?
He is the pin up boy now for other bigots to be empowered.
too late get off!!
SBS Israel is and has always been a kind person, people just dragged his name through the mud trying to make him some hateful violent person.
Do we know what PR firm he has employed?
For all our vast differences, I give him credit for this.
He’s a top bloke
SBS So he gives his followers carte blanche to attack gay people then says: 'whoa, hold back, at least until I win this court case then go for it!'
if she's been attacked, perhaps he should not have done it!
good grief he is full of shit. He caused the problem in the first place. Someone should tell folau to call off his dogs!
Um...perhaps hes waking up to the fact hes been used by LyleShelton and the ACLobby
Can we move forward, sheesh, talk about flogging a story to death. Ugh.
Maybe he’s starting to see just how stupid he is allowing himself to be played by the ‘christian’ extremists .. I doubt it but hey we keep up the pressure in hope
Good on you Folau!
some say one is preaching, then stick to preaching, not play dual role like one is doing right now, scream about gay going to hell and now support magda, one is a money hoarder, that much one has made it clear, some are falling for it, it is a pity they are blind. rugbycomau
He never said gays should be attacked in any form or excluded from society or executed like another sports man Mundine has said . This whole thing has been turned into a mountain from a molehill
Should have thought about the consequences before he made his post
Definition of irony right there🤮
Too late!
Cos he’s not calling for the hate of anyone Honestly I could guarantee with my life that the man doesn’t hate anyone... he is preaching the word of the Lord, nothing more nothing less....
