QLD “Family First” Candidate being Investigated
Wendy Francis, who is running for the Senate in Queensland, says someone in her office used Twitter to share her view that “children in homosexual relationships are subject to emotional abuse”.
And later supported this with:
“My comments were certainly not against gays and weren’t in any way a gay slur,” she said.
Then was in turn contradicted by her boss:
Family First federal chairman Bob Day told AAP the party stood by the candidate.
“They are not the views of Wendy Francis, they are not Family First policy and the person who placed the comments has been counselled,” he said.
Wendy then contradicted him with this:
Ms Francis said she had changed her password and had spoken to the person who had posted her “paraphrased” comments on Twitter.
Getting a story straight seems to be a big problem for these bible bashing bastards.
I guess that it comes with that Christian Training & Brainwashing?
Kelly Pilgrim-Byrne, who has a three-year-old with her same-sex partner, has lodged complaints against the comments in Queensland, NSW and Tasmania.
She called on Family First to take Ms Francis off the Senate ticket.
Ha! Fat chance! A christian doing the right thing when caught out? Never.
