The ADC has strongly condemned the distribution of an anti-gay flyer, The Death Of Reason…and the rainbow walk to insanity comparing LGBTI people to Nazi Germany, to homes in the Woden area, Canberra. Parts of the flyer, read, “So Hitler’s invasion of the personal privacy of children in the 1930’s is the same totalitarian invasive influence of today. He used the same means, only now the pornography of power that is state propaganda has morphed from Nazi political perversion into perverted gay activism for abnormal ‘marriage’ equality.” The flyers have been traced to Adelaide street preacher Kevin Bickle and his website (https://goliaths-sword.com)
ADC Chairman, Dr Dvir Abramovich, issued the following statement:
“It outrageous that such extreme anti-gay rhetoric has infiltrated the homes of residents in Canberra, disseminating its hateful message of incitement and abusing the Holocaust to malign the LGBTQI community and those supporting marriage equality as Nazis. Clearly, the objective of these flyers is not just to vilify, but also to traffic in fear and to stir up hatred. It is also troubling that this radical group is twisting the teaching of Christianity in service of their warped agenda and reprehensible demonisation. This incident, once again, demonstrates that the virus of bigotry remains a powerful force in Australia, and that we must come together to battle this growing cancer and to promote inclusivity over the ideology of bigotry that these materials promote.”
