A lot of people (esp. heterosexual white men) have come out (lol) and criticised the push toward marriage equality for a number of reasons.

Lyle Shelton has, on multiple occasions, referred to the children of same-sex couples as a "new Stolen Generation".

Nice.

Lyle also lamented the horrible future for incarcerated bakers.

Unless he's talking about his good friend, Will Bakers, which I believe he is not.

Then we had Liberal MP George Christensen likening the LGBTI anti-bullying campaign Safe Schools to “paedophile grooming”.

Ah yes. An understandable connection to make.

Or there was the time that old mate Cory Bernardi said that supporting same-sex marriage is just like supporting bestiality.

Oh yeah, and when our fave Pauline Hanson was asked about same-sex marriage, she reminded us to think about the Diggers and what they fought for.
