Politico Enlists Gay “Climate Hunks”

We’ve seen politicians do a lot of things for the gay vote, but none quite as innovative crazed as Australia’s Dani Ecuyer. As part of her effort to win her local Wentworth election, Ecuyer hired two “climate hunks” to help her woo the bent boys. Here’s Ecuyer’s objectifying, absurd explanation:

[They're] mascots who will engage a different sector of the community which potentially, because they’re hunks, could appeal to the gay community,” she said.

It’s cool to be young, hunky and engaged in the climate change issue.

Oh, yes. We won’t even talk to someone unless they have at least two of those three things going for them. Period.
