Rights group demands sacking of 'anti-gay' ambassador
Posted
A gay rights group is calling on the Federal Government to sack both of the men's health ambassadors who have been linked to a document criticising homosexuality.
Barry Williams from the Lone Fathers group and the Fatherhood Foundation's Warwick Marsh are listed as authors of a publication that says homosexuality is a disorder.
The Government has dismissed Mr Marsh but has retained Mr Williams, who has distanced himself from the document.
Rodney Croome from the Coalition for Equality says Mr Williams should be sacked too.
"Even though he's repudiated the anti-gay manifesto he originally signed, Barry Williams has repeatedly lobbied and advocated against the legal recognition and protection for same sex couples and their families," he said.
"It's exactly these kind of discriminatory attitudes which undermine better health outcomes for gay men by stigmatising them as unfit parents."
