Apparently I Would Be Safer as a Smoker Instead of a Fabulous Homo

So for those of you who don't know, New Zealand and Australia are both in intense marriage equality debates. New Zealand actually had an equality bill pass its first reading last week. Well anyway, I have a huge W-T-Fuck moment regarding a Christian lobby group from Australia that decided to propagate some hate. 
    Jim Wallace from the Australian Christian Lobby organization said in a speech, without giving ANY concrete evidence for his claims, that it was safer to be a smoker than a homosexual and went on to extrapolate this crazy notion that if marriage equality were to happen and homosexuals were 'normalized' then the country would face health risks and other such shit that are 'inherent' to the homosexual lifestyle. Those types of things being diseases and drug abuse. Which just to point out, A) these things are not rampant throughout the entire culture, B) they are not unique to the homosexual culture, C) what is true and not grossly exaggerated will dissipate with the acceptance of homosexuality. So, here's the link to that article and ya seriously biggest W-T-Fuck moment of the week.
