Would you believe, a politician who says terrible things bout queer people is kind of an idiot who can’t manage his own affairs?
Cory Bernardi has a reputation in Australia for making life miserable for LGBTs. He compared homosexuality to sex with animals — gooooooood job — and his latest crusade is attacking a “safe schools” initiative.
You read that right. He hates safe schools. Bernardi says that it’s “dangerous” and “brainwashing” to provide anti-bullying measures in schools, and he’s pushed the government to launch an investigation into the program. “This is a great first step to getting this program de-funded and taken out of our schools,” said an anonymous source with the Australian Christian Lobby. Gee whiz, what a shock, a religious group that wants free reign to attack queer kids, that’s never ever happened before.
Well, maybe while he was dealing with the speck of dust in the eyes of LGBTs, he should have dealt with the splinter in his own. Bernardi forgot to renew the registration on his website, and now CoryBernardi.com.au says “compassion lives here. Coming soon.” And there’s a big rainbow flag. Well, that’s some good news for queer Australians.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Apparently some LGBT organizers were able to swoop in and claim the registration while Bernardi was busy bullying children. Nicely done! Now, what will they use that website for? Perhaps a link to youth LGBT resources? Or maybe some organizing to legalize same-sex marriage? For some reason, even though countries like America have the freedom to marry, Australia continues to drag its feet on allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.

I hope these criminals pay for defacing his website. That was his own personal property and they are vandalizing it.

@XzamiIio: Actually, they did no such thing. The website probably reverted to public domain or for rent when he didn’t renew. So I’m pretty sure the group paid & LEGALLY assumed the website.

he forgot to renew his hate-site, so too bad, bigot!
John Malin
Cory “The Boobie” Bernardi should have protected his “back door” on his website. Next he’ll claim he’s been internet buggered!
Michael Barnett
The story is a little wrong. His actual web site is http://www.corybernardi.com.

I’d do’em. He looks like he’d enjoy it to.

@XzamiIio: Sorry Dude, it didn’t pay his domain site re-registration fee. So like every website that does that, it’s up for grabs to whoever grabs it first. The guy didn’t own it any longer. So, that being said, how does one deface a website that you personally own? You can’t.

The man sure has hateful eyes.

@1EqualityUSA: What bothers me more than the eyes are the gerbil teeth.

@XzamiIio: No one defaced “his” website for the reasons cited above. And can the information on the website now really be called defamation. And how is it that people like yourself end up on THIS website?!?!

Good for you, Australian LGBTQ group for purchasing another website that was hate-filled, and replacing it’s message with love and compassion for all! WHOOHOO! One Step At A Time…

Seriously, Queerty? So a troll can just steal your face, your name and comment as you?

There’s a storm coming to Australia. A big gay storm.

“For some reason, even though countries like America have the freedom to marry, Australia continues to drag its feet on allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.”
The reason would be no court in Australia could legalize gay marriage unlike the US Supreme Court that can make things a reality before society supports it.
1EqualityUSA
Justice Clarence Thomas, enjoying his interracial marriage, can attest to the Supreme Court legalizing stuff before society supports it.

@Xzamilio: No one stole anything. Every website in the world has to be paid for. Website renewals generally are renewed every one to two years. He did not pay for the renewal of his website and it becomes public domain. If I don’t renew my website domains, then anyone who has the money can buy it. That’s not stealing.
Glücklich
@Terry:, @Nahald:, @jbqueernews04:, @marc sfe:
Spoofed account.
GayEGO
Hey he got what he deserves for not paying his bills! Great for us LGBTs!
XzamiIio
@marc sfe: Fuck you!

Australia’s gay community lacks the resolve to do anything effective on gay marriage. It is more interested in organizing parties on Saturday nights.
Greg C
@XzamiIio: You are a blithering moron. He gave up the site by not renewing. Read much?
Xzamilio
@Greg C: That is a troll account. I am the real Xzamilio. Stop responding to that idiot.
