Where's a mad bomber when you need one clean up a lot of fagots and poofs

Women wear dresses & makeup everyday but aren't called heros for it, but when a man wears a dress & make up he is a hero & fearless. Burn the rainbow flag!, it no longer represents freedom of association, it represents homosexual men who are pushing their own personal agenda.

fearless lol

Ugh. Neighbours is pushing this agenda hard on their show. I believe in live and let live but its becoming ridiculous.

Why have yet held off until election campaign to do this? Treating electorate as fools. Sydney's new light rail will only be able to transport 50% (or less) of peak hour passengers. Do the rest walk to Randwick? If you believe Constance and Gladys B you got rocks in yer head.
