A new advert from the Coalition for Marriage, the chief 'no' campaign, shows a mum complaining about "radical gender ideas". While on Saturday, a spokeswoman from the same organisation was quoted talking about "radical gay sex and gender education classes".

On Saturday evening, the Coalition for Marriage will hold its official campaign launch in Sydney. Expect to hear the word "radical" spoken loudly and repeated often.

The launch comes as police investigate claims same-sex marriage ballots are being auctioned off on eBay. There are also fears for the survey's reliability after dozens of forms were found strewn across a Canberra street.
The use of the term "radical" is part of what the 'yes' side claim is a deliberate strategy by the 'no' campaign to move the focus to issues that will not be changed by the law — such as what in taught in schools — because they know most Australians would be happy for gay couples to wed.

On Friday evening, the Coalition for Marriage's new ad dropped. It's very similar to the organisation's controversial first ad — it even features two of the same people.

The new ad focuses on a book called The Gender Fairy with one woman, church pastor Heidi McIvor, saying: "School programs have no place teaching my son radical gender ideas that he might not be who he was born as."

On the Coalition for Marriage's Facebook page many people have taken issue with the ad, an ad that doesn't actually mention marriage.

"Too funny — again nothing to do with marriage equality. This book is not even part of the Safe Schools program but you are trying to insinuate it is. The lies are just getting weirder every day," said one respondent.

What isn't radical about all this? What they are into radically defiles nature! They are radically deranged mentally.

A SMALL-BUSINESS owner has sacked a staff member who came out in support of the "no" campaign in the same-sex marriage postal plebiscite.

Madlin Sims, who runs a party entertainment company in Canberra, said she was taking a stand on the issue, likening it to employing a staff member who posted racist material online.

The sacked contractor was a woman who took photos of events and often posted them on Facebook. "Today I fired a staff member who made it public knowledge that they feel 'it's okay to vote no'," Ms Sims wrote on Sunday.

"Advertising your desire to vote no for SSM is, in my eyes, hate speech. Voting no is homophobic. Advertising your homophobia is hate speech. As a business owner I can't have somebody who publicly represents my business posting hate speech online.

"1. Its bad for business. 2. I don't like s**t morals. 3. I don't want homophobes working for me, especially in an environment with children.

"It's not okay to vote no. It's not okay to be homophobic. This isn't a matter of opinion or even religion. It's a matter of the love and livelihood of real human beings. Freedom of speech is there for a reason and so are consequences. Vote against homophobia. Vote for equality. Vote yes."

She added that it wasn't a "you're voting no, you're fired situation".

"There were prior conversations had," she wrote. "As a business that works with children of all kinds, we have a responsibility to working with vulnerable people and having someone who is out and proud about their beliefs (of which are statistically proven to have horrible effects on young members of the gay community) is a risk for the wellbeing of the children we work with."

She said "freedom of speech and hate speech are very different things". "We have members of the gay community all over the world committing suicide because of inequality but we aren't going to have anti-SSM supporters killing themselves over equality," she wrote.

Ms Sims' original post has been shared more than 140 times and sparked fierce debate.

The business owner also said "We have gay staff members. We entertain at parties where the children of gay parents attend. We entertain at parties where gay children attend. This. Woman. Was. A. Risk."

She added that the sacked girl had made comments on an online article about the sacking "explaining that Australia was built on white Christianity and we need to respect those views".

"Unwillingness to acknowledge the suffrage of indigenous Australians is a big no no and extremely twisted," she wrote. "Not only did I realise I had a homophobe but also a racist on my hands."

A FAR right group, one of the chief organisers of the Cronulla riots anniversary events, has a new target — people voting yes for same-sex marriage.

The Party for Freedom will hold a 'Straight Lives Matter' protest on Saturday in Sydney to campaign for "white heteronormativity".

The group, which usually campaigns against Muslim immigration, described the march as a reaction to the "purple haired rainbow collective".

The party's leader, Nick Folkes, told news.com.au being gay was a choice and called on people who didn't identify with their biological gender "retards".

Provocatively, the protest is being held in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, famous for its large LGBTI population and metres from a memorial to murdered gays and lesbians.

The group was unapologetic for holding the rally next to a monument mourning gay people executed by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.

"We want to make a strong point — I don't feel were provoking anyone, we can hold a rally anywhere," Mr Folkes said. He said "yes" campaigners could hold a march in a "straight area".

NSW Police confirmed they would be in attendance at the event.

The Straight Lives Matter march — the name a clear reference to the Black Lives Matter anti-racist movement — is being led by Folkes, the chairman of the Party for Freedom. He was the figurehead of a protest in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla in 2015 to mark the 10 year anniversary of the infamous beachside riots.

That march led to violent clashes with anti-fascist protesters.
Mr Folkes told news.com.au he expected hundreds of people to attend. Currently 26 people have confirmed they will be a part of the march on the event's social media page.

Asked if he really believed sexuality was something people chose, Mr Folkes said: "In most cases it's a lifestyle people choose. My neighbour has kids and he was straight but went gay."

He also railed against transgender people — also not mentioned on the ballot paper.

"All these 76 genders. I say there's three genders: male, female and retards. The rest is lunacy The world's being turned upside down."

In a Facebook post, Mr Folkes, who describes himself as a "nationalist", wrote: "The same people who support the multi-sexual agenda of redefining marriage support third world immigration, global warming and restrictions on freedom of speech."

The group has been condemned by its own Facebook group. One person said the protest was "disgusting".

"Are you actually holding this homophobic stunt in a park that has a memorial for homosexuals who were murdered at Auschwitz? Are you people actually that idiotic and disgusting?"

Asked if the rally occurring so close to the memorial was itself a form of bulling towards the LGBTI community, Mr Folkes said he was not aware of the monument when the event was organised.

He said the Yes campaign "is a massive propaganda campaign to attract more people to that lifestyle. I believe it will weaken society and make a homosexual society."

On social media, members of the party have posted images of themselves putting up now infamous posters which equate same-sex marriage with child abuse. But, talking to news.com.au, Mr Folkes denied he was homophobic, and said gay people already had the "same rights" as heterosexuals.

"This is not about gay marriage, it's a Pandora's box. Some people are talking about polygamy and lowering the age of consent."

OUTSPOKEN Senator Cory Bernardi labelled same sex marriage as a "rainbow Trojan horse" during a 'No' campaign rally at the Adelaide Town Hall on Tuesday night.

The leader of the Australian Conservatives was among several SA politicians to voice their disapproval of legalising same sex unity in the postal survey during a Coalition For Marriage crusade attended by 700 supporters.

"Redefining marriage ... will open the door to political correctness," Senator Bernardi told the meeting.

"When has it become OK for a four-year-old to question their gender?

"Make no mistake, if they can redefine marriage, they can redefine what you can say, think about marriage."

A controversial ad that aired nationally earlier this month, featuring Australian mums concerned about radical LGBTIQ sex and gender education in schools, was played again at the event.

Organisation spokesman Damian Wyld said their campaign encourages people to vote no in the upcoming Federal Government plebiscite.

"There has been a lot of bullying and intimidation in the last few weeks of the campaign," he said.

"People are seeing very real consequences involved with changing the Marriage Act.

"They shouldn't be afraid to talk about that."
In contrast, thousands of same sex marriage supporters brought the city to a standstill in a colourful gathering on Saturday.

Tuesday night's 90-minute, $10-a-ticket rally ran smoothly without any incidents.

Liberal MP Tony Pasin slammed people who found more ballots in their letterbox and voted on behalf of others as "criminal" behaviour.

He said the opposing camp supporting same sex marriage threatens religious freedom and freedom of speech.

"If you sick of the political correctness, vote no," he said.

Independent Senator Lucy Gichuhi, said a same sex union would change the traditional family unit.
