Anti gay rights flegs anyone?
keep denying gay marriage so our streets will be full of protesting women kissing eachother for film crews. feminism is alive and unwell
It is two gay women kissing to illustrate their relationship. How you construed that into an attack on Feminism is beyond me?! Many of the media events around the gay marriage campaign have used the image of same sex couple kissing. For example after the recent constitutional convention. http://www.rabble.ie/2013/04/14/hear-the-noise/
Cabbage leave our commentators alone!
Where was this attack on feminism? I must have missed it while i was telling the missus what i wanted for tea.
