Rugby star Folau’s ‘anti-gay’ crowdfunding campaign shut down

Australia’s wing Israel Folau, a devout Christian, was fired last month after a Rugby Australia tribunal found him guilty of 'high-level' misconduct for posting on social media that 'hell awaits' gay people and others he considers sinners. — AFP pic

A search for Folau’s GoFundMe webpage, set up on Friday, was met with: “We’re sorry, but the campaign link you entered cannot be found.” “As a company, we are absolutely committed to the fight for equality for LGBTIQ+ people and fostering an environment of inclusivity,” she added. “While we welcome GoFundMes engaging in diverse civil debate, we do not tolerate the promotion of discrimination or exclusion.”

His crowdfunding campaign attracted criticism, with Australian media noting that he was one of the best-paid players in the world and owns a multi-million dollar property portfolio.
