Anthony Mundine suggests gay rights could lead to the legalisation of paedophilia
Boxer Anthony Mundine has suggested the death penalty might be good deterrent for gay men in Australia.
He made the statement in a video posted by the Daily Telegraph after his departure from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
“If we were to live in a society, just like Aboriginal culture, where homosexuality is forbidden and you do it and the consequences are capital punishment or death, you think you are going to do it?” he asked.
“Or think twice about doing it?
“That’s the only way to deter the problem.”
Mundine then added that paedophiles should face a similar punishment, and implied that gay rights could be linked to the possible legalisation of paedophilia.
“Hang them suckers,” he said.
“Because they are pushing these gay rights so much in the Western world, the paedophiles out there want their rights,” he said.
“Now they are going to claim to have rights. They want their rights just like the gay people want their rights.
“[Gay people] aren’t going to be happy until they have primary school kids being gay.”
Many have taken to social media to condemn the comments.
“Using our culture as a basis for his harmful opinions is disgraceful,” Indigenous advocate Casey Conway wrote.
“Women and LGBTI people are your equal Anthony, you’re not better than anyone – educate yourself.”
“Anthony Mundine has yet to provide any basis for his homophobic remarks that, in Aboriginal culture homosexuality results in ‘capital punishment or death’,” founder of Black Rainbow Dameyon Bonson wrote.
“It is well documented that homophobia leads to suicide. So well done Anthony and his apologists too.”
Mundine came under fire last month for claiming that same-sex couples were “confusing” to society.
“I was always taught that two genders together is natural, it’s what’s meant to be,” he said.
“Male and male, or female and female, is just confusing to society.”
The defence that he has had too many knocks to the brain wont wash. No. He is just a stupid thug who popularises a blood sport.- boxing. And a traitor to equality. Full Stop.
The way he rages on about everything, he surely has something to hide (the usual “he doth protesteth too much”).
Now, if only someone could sneak into his, Bernardi’s and Shelton’s person hardrive so we can all know what these pratts are trying to hide ????
The only time this oxygen thief opens his mouth is to spew garbage. Many hits in the head when playing NRL and subsequent boxing matches has shattered any little brain that was there.
Mundine has always been an idiot but since all those blows to the head in the animalistic boxing ring his idiotness has accelerated dramatically. No one takes any notice of him because he is a stupid loud mouthed moron and his views in this article are horrendous and could possibly lead to suicide amongst those younger Gay people who are coming to terms with their sexual orientation. He needs to be charged with vilification for making outrageous claims on this matter. Hopefully in his next fight he might get knocked out permanently.
Mundine’s claim to being known generally is his ability to punch. Best he doesn’t overextend himself.
Mundine is an idiot and his claims attempting to link homosexuality and paedophilia are unfounded and idiotic. Not really news. There are many gay Aboriginal people, and Aboriginal culture is not homogenous, so my question maybe someone can answer – is Mundine correct that all Aboriginal cultures murdered all the gay people?
He’s been famously and stupidly wrong about Aboriginal issues before so it’s fair to ask if he’s also wrong this time, I reckon.
