Australian Candidate Wants To Outlaw Gay Sex, Condone Discrimination

In the case of male homosexuality, sodomy and fellatio are psychological and biological aversive acts and are therefore harmful to the individual.

“People who are engaging in aberrational behaviour, is similar to say a heroin addict – people have the right to discriminate against employing a heroin addict, renting accommodation to a heroin addict.

“It’s similar to that basically. It’s a judgement. This person does not have the insight to see the truth and that’s why they’re carrying on the way they are.

“They are addicted to these behaviours which are harmful. As a heroin addict is addicted to a behaviour that is harmful and keeps on doing it. It’s exactly the same.”
