'Stop The F*gs': Anti-Gay Activists Are Attacking Same-Sex Marriage Via This Vile Poster [View all]

Link to tweet

A vile poster attacking same-sex marriage, same-sex parents, and citing a discredited "study" by an American Catholic priest is being used by anti-gay activists in Australia to fight the country's impending plebiscite on marriage equality. The poster includes an illustration depicting a young child huddled in a protective manner and surrounded by two rainbow-colored belts which suggest physical abuse. It has been posted on the streets of Melbourne, Australia, according to ABC News of Australia.

At the top of the poster are the words, "Stop the F*gs," just in case the illustration is insufficient.

It includes the false claim that "92 per cent of children raised by gay parents are abused. 51 per cent have depression. 72 per cent are obese."

Again that's false.

The poster even cites its source, a study by Rev. Paul Sullins, Ph.D., a tenured Associate Professor at The Catholic University of America, a private religious institution in Washington, D.C.
