 
This week the LGBT community of Queensland has faced some of the most offensive homophobia to be seen in years. In a time leading up to the state election where one of the major parties main platform is to repeal the civil unions, the LGBT community has also found themselves the victim of a cruel scare campaign that puts the 1950′s anti-gay rights campaigners to shame. As result two major demonstrations have been planned for this Sunday and next Thursday, to respond to the alarming homophobia and intolerance being promoted during this years state election campaign.
